This is my first attempt at this dish. It tasted pretty good, if I may say so myself. However, I felt that the french beans were cut too short because I am so used to doing that when I stir fry them. For this dish, cutting each french bean in half would be just nice.
Ingredients:
500gm french beans
2 tbsps minced pork
1 tbsp dried shrimp
2 tbsps chopped ginger
1/4 tsp salt
1/5 cup water
1 tsp vinegar
1/4 tsp sesame oil
1/4 tsp sugar
Method:
1. Trim the ends of the french beans and break into two sections.
2. Soak the dried shrimps till softenened, remove hard shells if any and then finely chop the shrimps.
3. Heat up a wok and deep fry the french beans until the surface of the french beans turn wrinkly. Transfer them out and use paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
4. Heat 2 tbsps of oil in wok and stir fry the minced pork and chopped ginger. Add in the chopped dried shrimp, followed by the sugar, salt and water. Finally, return the french beans to the wok and stir fry until gravy is almost dry.
5. Drizzle vinegar down the edges of the wok and add the sesame oil. Continue stirring a few times, then dish out and serve.
