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

Stir-fried green beans with eggs is a quick, nutritious, and versatile dish loved for its simplicity and vibrant flavors. Here’s a step-by-step guide to perfecting it.

### Ingredients

- 200g fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-3 cm pieces

- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 tbsp cooking oil (vegetable or peanut oil works best)

- Salt to taste

- ½ tsp sugar (optional, to balance flavors)

- A pinch of white pepper (optional)

### Instructions

1. Prep the Beans: Blanch green beans in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water to retain their color. Set aside.

2. Cook the Eggs: Heat ½ tbsp oil in a wok over medium heat. Pour in beaten eggs and scramble until lightly set. Remove eggs and set aside.

3. Sauté Aromatics: Add the remaining ½ tbsp oil to the wok. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

4. Combine: Return blanched beans to the wok. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the scrambled eggs. Season with salt, sugar (if using), and white pepper. Toss everything together for 30 seconds until heated through.

### Tips for Success

- For extra flavor, add a splash of light soy sauce or a dash of sesame oil.

- Like your beans crunchier? Reduce blanching time to 1 minute.

- Serve hot with steamed rice for a complete meal.

This dish balances the earthy taste of green beans with the richness of eggs, making it a staple in many households. Enjoy your homemade creation!
