The lean green vegetables are a rich source of vitamins, minerals and plant nutrients. They have a good amount of vitamins A, B and C. In addition beans contain healthy amounts of iron, magnesium, manganese and potassium which are essential for body metabolism.
In this recipe the french beans are stir fried with shredded Sichuan vegetables which can be bought off the shelf. It is already seasoned with a bit of sugar and spice. (see picture). A small packet weighs 80 grams whereas a big packet comes in 200 grams.

Mince pork and chopped dried shrimps are added for extra flavour. For the extra kick, I added a teaspoon of Sichuan peppercorn.
