Green bean stir-fry

Ashvita Girish, Staff Reporter

These stir-fried green beans are simple to make and they are packed with nutrition. Mixed with three different sauces, these beans make a delicious side to any Thai dish.

Ever since school started, the routine has kicked in and we were having the same kind of meals every day. Wanting something a little more exciting than rice and dal, I scurried through the kitchen and found all the ingredients for my moms’ massaman curry. After convincing my mom to make the curry, I started to wonder about having something extra on the side. I asked my mom if she could make stir-fried green beans and after getting a cold stare back, I decided to indulge in it myself.
