Cooking tips

  • Frying the green beans lightly in oil enhances their texture, making them softer and better at absorbing the sauce.
  • If the seasoning becomes too salty or risks burning, add 1–2 tablespoons of water during cooking to adjust.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to make an unusual yet addictive spicy vegetable side dish.
  • Fans of mala flavor who want to cook frozen green beans deliciously.
