Instructions
Preparing Ingredients:
First, marinade minced meat with light soy sauce and cornflour. Set aside while we prepare the other ingredients.
Rinse and soak dried prawns and preserved radish for about 10 ton 15 minutes.
Then drain well the preserved radish, chop the drained dried prawns, chop garlic and dice red chillies.
Next, wash and cut french beans into 5cm length and set aside. Then prepare the seasonings for the dish.
Prepare Seasonings:
Combine light soy sauce, sugar, ground white pepper and water in a bowl. Stir to mix well. And we are ready to stir fry the french beans.
Stir fry French Beans:
First, heat up cooking oil. Then saute chopped garlic, chopped preserved radish and dried prawns till fragrant.
Add in fermented bean paste and stir fry to mix well. Then add in minced meat and continue to stir fry till meat is cooked and is separated into meat piece.
Add in french beans and stir fry till the french beans are cooked through. Then add diced chillies and pour in the seasoning mixture. Sitr fry on high heat till cooked and well mixed.
Choose young and fresh french beans as they are more tender and less fibrous.
To make sure the french beans used are fresh, try breaking the French bean and it should snap. If it bends limply like a rubber band, then it isn't fresh.
Make sure that the french beans are thoroughly cooked through. Otherwise the flavour will not get into the beans.
Just use a little cornflour to marinate the pork as it will cause the minced meat to stick to together while frying. For this dish we want the meat be separated into small pieces so they will be randomly mixed in between the French beans.
