Ingredients

• 250 g French beans, thinly sliced on the diagonal
• 3 Eggs, beaten with a pinch of salt
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp Dried shrimp, soaked and chopped (optional)
• 3 tbsp Water
• ½ tsp Salt, or to taste
• Sugar, a pinch
• White pepper, a pinch

Method

1. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok over medium heat, pour in the egg and stir gently for 1 min until softly set. Tip onto a plate.
2. Add the remaining oil and fry the garlic and dried shrimp for 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Turn the heat to high, add the beans and stir-fry for 1 min, then add the water, cover and cook for 2–3 min until tender but still bright green.
4. Season with salt, sugar and pepper, return the egg, break it up into small pieces and toss for 30 seconds. Serve with rice.

Tips

• Slicing the beans thinly lets them cook fast and soak up the flavour.
• Dried shrimp makes it non-vegetarian; leave it out to keep the dish vegetarian.
