How to Stir-Fried Green Beans with Eggs: A Complete Guide

Stir-fried green beans with eggs is a quick, nutritious, and beloved dish in many households. Here’s a simple yet delicious recipe to guide you.

Ingredients: 200g fresh green beans, 2 eggs, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp cooking oil, 1 tsp soy sauce, a pinch of salt, and a dash of sesame oil (optional).

Steps:

1. Prep the Green Beans: Trim the ends of the green beans and snap them into 2-3 inch pieces. Wash thoroughly and pat dry. Blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp, then drain and rinse under cold water to retain their color. Set aside.

2. Cook the Eggs: Beat the eggs in a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and whisk lightly. Heat 0.5 tbsp oil in a wok over medium heat, pour in the eggs, and scramble until lightly set. Remove and set aside.

3. Stir-Fry: Heat the remaining oil in the wok. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add the blanched green beans and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes. Return the scrambled eggs to the wok.

4. Season: Drizzle with soy sauce and a dash of sesame oil (if using). Toss everything together for 30 seconds until well combined. Adjust salt to taste.

Serving Tip: Enjoy this dish hot with steamed rice for a comforting meal. The combination of tender green beans and fluffy eggs makes it a family favorite!
