French Beans with Minced Meat and Salted Fish

A simple stir-fry dish that is truly a Chinese dish, goes great with white rice. The french beans is a tasty vegetable that has a sweetness of its own. I just simply microwave the french beans to precooked it first before stir-fry. Or it can be precooked in a pot of boiling water for about 3 minutes and drain. I opt for the microwave which is quicker and simpler, with no additional pots to wash! Just three main ingredients, french beans, minced meat, salted fish and you will have a tasty vegetable dish!
