Crispy Stir fried Green Beans

Asian-style crispy stir fried green beans is loaded with flavours. Green beans are stir fried until they are crunchy, crispy and have a nice char on the skin. These are better than battered and deep fried green beans. I make this preparation of green beans for get-togethers or parties when we have vegetarian guests as well.
