Asian 20 Mins Prep ยท 10 Mins Cook


  1. Slice the chillies lengthways. Remove the seeds and finely chop. Finely chop the lime leaves. Juice the limes.
  2. Finely grate the palm sugar. Dry toast the shrimp paste in a non-stick pan over a medium heat for approx. 2 minutes or until fragrant.
  3. Combine all the dressing ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
  4. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
  5. Trim the tops of the beans. Blanch in the boiling water for 2 minutes then immediately shock in cold water to retain their colour and prevent further cooking.
  6. Heat the oil in a wok or non-stick pan.
  7. Finely grate in the garlic then add in the green beans and 2 tablespoons of the dressing. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes or until the beans are cooked and well coated.
  8. Serve immediately.
