Stir-Fried Beans and Beansprouts
Small, thin French beans are best for stir- frying and they will give the crunchiest result. Choose button mushroom for this recipe - they make an attractive addition and will give the dish a lighter colour.
This crunchy dish makes an excellent accompaniment to roast or grilled meats, particularly steaks and chops.
Ingredients
- 9 oz small French beans left whole
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 onion sliced
- 4 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 oz mushrooms sliced
- 9 oz beansprouts
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a wok or large heavy-based pan. Fry the onion for 2 minutes, then add the beans and stir-fry for 1 minute.
- Add the water, soy sauce, lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, tossing the beans in the liquid until it has evaporated
- Add the mushrooms and stir constantly until they are tender. Add beansprouts and stir-fry for a further 2 minutes until the beansprouts are heated through and just tender, but still crisp. Transfer to a warmed serving dish and serve at once.
