Spicy Stir Fried Four Angled Beans

One of my all-time favourite vegetable dish. The key ingredient is none other than the spicy and aromatic sambal paste.

Ingredients:

Four angled beans - Sliced thinly

Sambal paste:

Garlic - 2 cloves

Onion - 1/2

Dried chilies - 4-5

Anchovies - 5-8 cleaned

Belacan (shrimp paste)- 1/2 tsp

Salt to taste

Pound dried chilies, onions, garlic and anchovies or grind them in a food processor. Set aside the paste.

Heat some oil in a pan, and fry the spices until fragrant. Add sliced four angled beans and stir well. Season with salt and belacan.

Once the beans are cooked, dish out to serve.
