This quick bean sprout and green bean stir-fry is light, savory, and full of fresh crunch. Garlic, shallots, and a little oyster sauce bring everything together in just minutes, making it a simple side dish for any weeknight meal.
Rinse and drain the bean sprouts well. Trim the green beans and cut them into 1 1/2-inch pieces. Thinly slice the garlic, shallots, chilies, and spring onion.

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wok or skillet over low heat. Add the garlic, shallots, and chilies, then stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.



Increase the heat to medium and add the green beans. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, then add a small splash of water to help them soften slightly. Add the bean sprouts and toss to combine.


Season with oyster sauce, salt, mushroom powder, and white pepper. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables are just tender but still crisp. Add the spring onion, toss briefly, and serve hot.

Do not overcook the bean sprouts or they will turn watery and lose their crunch. If you do not have mushroom powder, use a pinch of sugar or a little extra salt for balance. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 day, though the texture is best when freshly cooked.
