Equipment

  • Wide skillet or wok

Ingredients
  

  • 300 grams green beans (or Chinese long beans)
  • 2 cloves garlic sliced

Instructions
 

Prepare the Green Beans:

Flash-Fry the Beans:

Combine and Season:

  • Add the fried beans to the garlic.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt and bouillon powder, tossing gently to combine.

Serve:

  • Transfer the beans to a serving dish and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
