The moment I think Garlic, I think Chinese..But then I think Chinese for many other things even otherwise. Like Health and quick meals. Chinese cooking has ginger and garlic in almost all their dishes and stir fries are mostly or almost never made without the garlic.

I had some haricot verts in my freezer which was begging to be used! So, fixed myself a quick and yummy chinese stir fry with garlic and beans. Its v simple and takes only 5-8 min esp when you have frozen beans.

Method

1. Thaw the beans if using frozen

2. Heat a non stick pan and heat it. Add peanut oil and add the Onion, then garlic and then the chilli paste in that order with a space of 10 seconds. Keep the heat high.

3. Then add the beans and saute for 5 min in high flame. Add the soy sauce,salt and plum sauce and keep stirring for 2-3 min more in high heat.

4.Serve with rice. Quick,Fast and Furious ( Ahem! Thats provided u use lots of chilli paste )

This is my entry to JFI – Garlic hosted by our very own Mathy.

I thought of poking my nose for another fun event in the food’o’sphere. Called as Four Foods on Friday, it is a meme which asks for 4 (duh!) questions. Here are my answers.

#1. American cheese. Sliced fresh or prepackaged processed cheese product?

“A Cheese by any other form would taste just as yummy” ( You geddit dont ya? hehehe ) I think they should have named it American Doubles cos I have never stopped at a single. I soon had to stop getting it cos I sure was getting ‘double’ in size consuming that!

#2. What is your favorite cracker?

To be honest that would be my husband (no i do not mean in the strictest sense!) – He simply never fails to crack me up given any situation!. But since that would fetch me negative markings, I would say Ritz!

#3. What hot breakfast cereal do you like? Think oatmeal, farina, grits, etc.

“Corn”flakes (;-)) any day any time – Morning,afternoon and evening!

#4. Share a recipe that uses corn.

mmmh. There are lots but since I already started this post with beans, I will give one more connected to that from my notes.

This is another garlic and bean combo’s Hope you guyz liked my “meme”.
