This recipe is very simple and easy. The key is to blanch the green beans in boiling water then immerse in icy water to retain the bright green color. In my past experience, I always wonder how do Asian restaurants retain the color and cook it perfectly at the same time. I learned that they cook them in different ways, depending on where they come from, I guess. I finally found out the secret and hope you will enjoy this dish, it is very basic but I'm sure that it will satisfy your hunger and cravings.
