STIR-FRIED GREEN BEANS WITH CHILI

We have veggie dish with our lunch and dinner now ever since Fiorina started on table food (which was 5 months ago already!). She loves veggie so much that I told my hubby I didn’t want to miss a day without veggie because I was afraid she might change her mind later on. I know lots of parents are trying super hard to get their kids to eat veggies.

Stir-fried green beans with chili was something that I whipped up without any real recipe, but turn out pretty good. Of course, Fiorina doesn’t eat the chili, but I was surprised she can handle a little hint of spiciness.

This is my personal easy comfort fix that I like to go with a bowl of rice and other meat dishes.

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 lb green beans
• ▢ 4 shallots thinly sliced

• ▢ 2 Tbsp of olive oil

Instructions

 

• Blanch the green beans in lightly salted boiling water for 3-5 minutes (I blanched a little longer as my toddler is also eating this). Drain and soak in ice cold water, drain off and set aside
• Preheat a wok/pan and add the olive oil. Saute the shallots and garlic until fragrant. Add in the red chili strips (if using) and continue to saute for another minute
• Add in the blanched green beans and continue to stir fry for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and stir fry to mix and turn off the heat. Serve immediately
