My 1st attempt at french beans with dried shrimps. Adapted from noobcok.
French beans are good, because they're easy to wash and prepare. Darren likes it, but Brandon didn't like the one I cooked for dinner with egg, maybe coz the beans were not cooked soft enough. They were still quite raw.

Today i used very little french beans. 1 pkt is 250g, I used abt 75-90g, because i wanted to save the rest for dinner. I used 2 tbsp of dried shrimps with this which I find too much. Next time for 2 pax, I'll use 1/2 pkt with 1.5 tbsp dried shrimps. For full pkt, I'll maybe put 2.5 tbps dried shrimps. I also put some carrots. Wanted shredded carrots, but maid used the fine shredder and carrots came out so fine (like i thk suitable for carrot cake). But since I didn't want to waste, I used it anyhow. Turns out quite interesting, coz it blends with the minced dried shrimps, and I thk it made the veg taste quite sweet...a little too sweet for my liking though, so next time to reduce the amt.
Ingredients
-4 cloves garlic, minced
-125g french beans (1/2 pkt), cut to 1.5-2cm length
-1.5 tbsp dried shrimps, minced
-shredded carrots (1/3 medium carrot) (to shred next time and see how much)
-1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
-Heat up wok, on smallest flame
-Add garlic and quickly stir fry (browns very quickly)
-Just as it starts to turn brown, add the dried shrimps. Stir fry till fragrant and shrimps start to turn light brown (abt 2 min).
-Add the french beans, and stir fry on medium heat for abt 5-6 min. (For normal shredded carrots, add together with the french beans)
-When the french beans are half done, add the finely shredded carrots.
Can modify this dish to have minced meat and/or sliced egg omelet instead of dried shrimps
To cook softer next time and see if Brandon likes
