NOTES

1. Green Beans:
  • Use fresh green beans, but you can also use frozen green beans if you don't have them. Then, extend the frying time by 3 minutes.
  • Instead of green beans, this recipe is also very tasty with sugar snap peas, broccoli florets, or bok choy.
2. Sesame seeds: Replace them with finely chopped cashew nuts or peanuts. Nice and crispy.
3. Storage:
  • Refrigerator: Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Freezer: You can store the green beans in a freezer bag or box in the freezer for up to 2 months. The structure of the beans will change slightly.
  • Reheat: Place the green beans with the sauce and two tablespoons of extra water in a pan and heat until they are hot.
