Here’s another simple home-cooked vegetable dish. 🙂 This goes very well with a piping hot bowl of porridge though rice would do too!
I like to slice the french beans really thinly. If you’re new to cooking and meal preparation, and you’re not so well versed with the knives in your kitchen yet, you may need some time to slice the french beans. Other than that, I don’t think this dish is difficult to master at all. In fact it’s quite forgiving because french beans don’t cook very fast so you don’t have to be afraid of overcooking it too quickly and you can leisurely taste for done-ness of the vegetable as you cook it over the stove.
French Beans with egg recipe
- 2 handfuls of french beans / 1 packet from NTUC (sliced thinly diagonally)

- 2 teaspoons oil
- ½ teaspoon light soy sauce

- Snap off both ends of the french beans and pull off as much of the 'fiber' as possible in the process.
- Wash the french beans then slice thinly, diagonally.
- Fry the garlic in the oil in the wok.

Cut french beans into shorter segments
Simple, isn’t it? 🙂
