  • Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
  • Ginger (1 inch piece, grated)
  • Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
  • Shrimp (1 pound, peeled and deveined)
  • Green beans (1 pound, trimmed and halved)

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pan, stirring continuously for about 1 minute until they release their fragrant aroma.
  3. Add the shrimp to the pan and stir fry until they turn a beautiful pink color and are cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes. Once done, remove the shrimp from the pan and set aside.

  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil to create a flavorful fusion. Pour this sauce over the shrimp and green beans in the pan.
  7. Continue to stir fry the mixture for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the sauce has thickened and evenly coats the shrimp and green beans.
  8. Season the dish with salt and pepper to your liking.
  9. Garnish the stir fry with the sliced green onions for an extra crunch and flavor.
  10. Serve the dish hot, and enjoy the fusion of flavors!
