Ingredients for Stir-fried Green Beans with Shrimp Serves 4
Shrimp 500 gr Green beans 500 gr Green onions 3 stalks Garlic 2 cloves Cooking oil 1 tablespoon Fish sauce 1 tablespoon Common seasonings a little (Sugar/ salt/ monosodium glutamate/ ground pepper)
How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh shrimp
- Choose shrimp that are intact, with a straight or slightly curved shape. The head and legs must be firmly attached to the body.
- Fresh shrimp typically have a shiny and smooth shell, the middle of the shrimp body should be clear and slightly smell of the sea, not fishy.
- Avoid choosing shrimp with loose legs, darkened color, and an unpleasant fishy smell.
How to choose fresh and delicious long beans
- You should choose long beans that have small and long stems because this type will be sweeter and crunchier after processing compared to short and thick long beans.
- Good long beans will have bright green skin, the stems will have a certain crunchiness, easily breakable, and feel quite firm when pressed with your hand.
- You should avoid buying long beans that feel soft and spongy when pressed, as these are old beans that will not have a sweet taste and are not delicious.
- In addition, you should also avoid buying long beans that are too large or overly green, as these are at high risk of having been sprayed with too many chemicals.

After buying shrimp, peel the shell, remove the shrimp vein, then wash clean and drain.
Trim the ends of the long beans and cut them into bite-sized pieces about 2 finger lengths long.
To clean the long beans, soak them in diluted salt water for about 10 – 15 minutes, then rinse with clean water.
Green onions should be trimmed of damaged leaves, roots cut off, washed, and cut into pieces about 2 finger lengths. Garlic should be peeled and minced.
