Ingredients:
String beans
Beef (can replace with chicken, shrimp, pork, etc etc)
Garlic (finely diced, for my portions i used 2 cloves)
Salt
Black pepper
Corn starch (one teaspoon mix with cold water)
Oyster sauceNOTE: portions are up to you, you can use more meat if you want. i just used whatever was available to me.
Step 1:
Marinate the beef with some salt and black pepper.
Step 2:
Bring some water to a boil and add in the string beans. Leave the beans in there for 2-3mins. This will cook the beans and it'll be easier to stir fry it later.
Step 3:
Remove the string beans from the boiling water and place them into a bowl of cold water. This will keep the beans in a nice green color instead of them turning yellowish.
Step 4:
Remove the beans from the cold water and set aside.
Step 5:
Heat up a pan with some oil...make sure pan is dried! -_-; once the oil is heated, add in the garlic and fried them until they turn gold/brownish
Step 6:
Add in the meat and pan fried them on both sides. Depending on how big you cut them, it shouldn't take too long for them to cook.
Step 7:
Once the meat is cooked for a bit, you can add in the string beans and mix for 1 minute.
Step 8:
Add in some oyster sauce and continue to mix. Do a taste test to make sure everything is okay. Add additional oyster sauce or salt to fit your tasting needs. For me, this dish shouldn't be too salty, it should be a bit sweet as a matter of fact.
Step 9:
Stir the corn starch water and add it into the center of the pan. Wait until it comes to a boil and mix everything together. The corn starch will create this glistering glow on items in the plate. It just makes them look more appetizing.
Make sure you don't keep it in the pan for too long or else it'll over cook. After adding in the string beans, it shouldn't take more than 3 mins to add in the reminding ingredients.
Step 10:
Plate and serve, ENJOY!
