Stir-fry French Beans with Szechuan Vegetables

Every two weeks I will check the vegetables compartment in the fridge and see what leftovers I have in there before buying new ones. Normally I will make a quick stir-fry with all the leftovers and this is one the dish that I came up with.

Ingredients:

1/2 pound of French beans – cut into ½” length
1 small packet of pickle Szechuan vegetable – soak in water for half an hour
1 chicken breast – minced
1 carrot – cut into small cubes
2 shallots – sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic - chopped
2 red chilies – cut small
1 tbsp of oyster sauce
2 tbsp of soy sauce
Some pepper to taste
Sugar to taste

1. Heat up the wok with a bit of olive oil, add in the shallots and garlic. Stir fry until fragrant and lightly brown. Add in the meat and stir-fry until it changes color and lightly brown.
2. Add in carrot, French beans and chilies. Continue to stir fry for a minute. Add in Szechuan vegetable and the seasonings. Add in a few tbsp of water and continue to cook until vegetables are cooked and the water evaporates. Check sesoning as your might need to add a bit of salt to this dish.
3. Dish out and serve with warm rice

Note: You can replace the french beans with long beans and the meat with any type of protein of your choice.
