CHILLI OIL BROCCOLI & GREEN BEANS

Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

  • 750 grams broccoli
  • 350 grams green beans
  • 4 dried red chillies
  • 9 garlic cloves
  • 1 inch piece of ginger
  • ¼ cup oyster sauce (veg or non-veg)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoons oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, to serve
  • Salt, to serve

Instructions

  • Chop the broccoli into small florets. Slice the outer layer of the main stem and discard. Use the fresher interior. Chop into bite-sized pieces. Remove the ends of the green beans and halve them.
  • Blanch the broccoli and green beans in boiling water for 5 mins. Rinse under cold water and set aside.
  • Add the chillies, ginger and garlic to a small blender jar. Pulse until coarsely chopped. You don’t want a paste here, just small bits.
  • Heat the oil in a large wide pan. Add the chilli-ginger-garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the oyster sauce and sugar. Cook for 2 mins.
  • Tip in the cooked broccoli and beans and toss to coat. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with sesame seeds sprinkled over.
