Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

300 g fresh green beans (2 nice handfuls)
2 large carrots
3 teaspoons butter, to taste
1 teaspoon minced garlic
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Trim green beans and cut carrot into sticks that are similar in size to the green beans.
  • Put the carrots in a microwave safe dish and pour about 1/2 a cup of boiling water over them. Loosely cover dish (so a bit of steam can escape). I use a microwave steamer.
  • Microwave on high about 3 minutes, until carrots are starting to soften but not yet done.
  • Add beans to carrots in dish or steamer. Microwave for another 2 - 3 minutes. Veggies should be crisp tender, or just slightly less than your desired doneness.
  • Drain veggies and set aside. When you are almost ready to serve, heat up some butter in a sauté pan or wok until foamy.
  • Throw in garlic and veggies and stir for just a minute or two, until garlic is fragrant and veggies are coated in butter and garlic.
  • Season with salt and pepper, if desired.

Tips

  • Use fresh, crisp vegetables. This will ensure that your stir-fry is flavorful and nutritious.
  • Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many vegetables at once, they will not cook evenly and will become soggy.
  • Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat. This will help them retain their crispness and flavor.
  • Add a little liquid to the pan. This will help prevent the vegetables from sticking and burning.
  • Season the vegetables to taste. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or ginger powder.
  • Serve the stir-fry immediately. This is when it will be at its best flavor and texture.

Conclusion

Stir-fries are a quick, easy, and healthy way to get your daily dose of vegetables. They are also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a little planning, you can create a stir-fry that is packed with flavor and nutrition. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious meal, give stir-frying a try.
