| Stir-Fried Green Beans with Oyster Sauce and Shrimp |
After seeing my main ingredient, my brain went to think right away of what I'm going to cook. Presto! My brain showed me the way. I rushed to gather the ingredients;
400g green beans (finely chopped)
1pc. red bell pepper (small, julienned)
2-3 tbsp. oyster sauce
10-15pcs. shrimps (deveined, chopped coarsely)
3/4 cup water
1 tbsp. ginger (ground, chopped and finely diced)
1 tbsp. corn starch diluted in water
3 tbsp. soy sauce
3 tbsp. sugar
1 tbsp. fish sauce
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tbsp. garlic
1pc. onion (chopped & diced)
salt & ground black pepper
And now all of the ingredients were gathered up. Now what? Set your wok and ladle because we are going to start.
Procedures:
In medium heated wok, sauté garlic, onions, ginger and shrimp in vegetable oil.
Season with garlic as the shrimps began to be cooked.
Now add the chopped green beans. Stir fry. Let it cook for 2 minutes. Cover.
While waiting, in a small bowl, mix all together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar. Stir until all ingredients were mixed and sugar is totally dissolve in the mixture.
After bringing the green beans to cook, pour the mixture of oyster sauce and stir the dish.
Finally, season it with salt if needed. Garnish it with red bell pepper.
Serve with steamed rice. Enjoy eating.

Tips:
Before sautéing the onions and shrimps, make sure you sauté the garlic til' they become golden brown. The dish is more flavorful with golden brown garlic.
Avoid overcooking the green beans, so we maintain the nutrients. (That's what my father keep telling me.)
If you don't want to waste the shrimp heads, you may boil them and make shrimp stocks. You can add it to your dish for that shrimpy taste.
When I cooked it, I preferred it to be a little bit sweeter. It tasted great. But still up to you.
Breaded pork chop, fish or chicken fillet were good matches for this dish.
