Chinese Mushrooms & Beans - Real Recipes from Mums

A really lovely easy Chinese dish with crisp beans, mushrooms and lots of flavour.

Ingredients (serves 4)

As needed Water
250 g Mushrooms - sliced
250 g Green Beans - sliced
2 cloves Garlic - Peeled and crushed
Knuckle Ginger - Peeled and finely chopped
2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Sweet Chilli Sauce
1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds
To taste Salt & Pepper

Method

Heat the water in a large frying pan and when hot, add the mushrooms and green beans and season lightly with salt and pepper.
Sauté for 5 – 10 minutes, until the mushrooms and the beans are fork tender.
Add the garlic, ginger and sesame seeds and toss.
Add the soy sauce and chilli sauce and mix.
Serve as a side or with steamed rice.

Notes

I have always found Chinese Food a bit equivalent to a Bath. You love the idea of it, you occasionally crave it and sometimes you really love the idea of it. You can daydream about it. But then when you have it, you say to yourself, “what was I thinking? What was the big deal, why were your dreaming about this for days?” This dish is so yummy though. No greasy Chinese takeaway here- an absolutely delicious dish that stands on its own with rice or as a side.

I have no idea what the notes here mean. Chinese food is equivalent to a bath?
Chinese food isn’t greasy if it is authentic.
It’s greasy because it is Westernised.
I find the above notes offensive.
