Stir-fried French Beans with Egg
Filed Under: 5 or Less Ingredients Asian Recipes Chinese Recipes Mum's Recipes Salads & Vegetables Stir Frying
French beans with egg (四季豆炒蛋) is a comfort food dish which I grew up eating. It is an alternative version of my mum’s long beans omelette recipe, with the beans cut to longer slices. It is really simple to cook with only 3 main ingredients (french beans, egg and garlic), and especially enjoyable with a bowl of porridge.

It is simple home-cooked dishes like this which I never get tired of eating all these years. I always try to buy french beans when I am busy, because I know I can whip up this healthy dish quickly (in about 15 minutes) and effortlessly. This is just perfect for eating light or/and busy nights.

Hey Wiffy,
I love simple recipes and I guess nothing beats what mum cooks.
My kids like it with long bean. I cook just like how you do it. Yummy! Oh, I use the same olive oil too! :)
Woooo…I like this. A family dish. But what are baby fine beans? I usually use long beans or french beans and cut them to small pieces.
Love your illustrated guide to cooking – so easy to understand!
I cook this dish often too, with long beans. Baby fine beans has more crunch thou.
tigerfish: they look similar looking to french beans and I wonder if they are the same too

Hello Angela, thanks for your kind words. I have no standard at all, you will become as good and better than me in no time at all hehe :) Happy cooking!
Hi Wiffy, this is one of your many receipes I tried. Yummy!
I innovated a little with smashed fried salted fish (I reduced amount of soya sauce), it turn out great as well. If you are salted fish lover, you might want to give a shot. Thanks again for all your wonderful, easy to understand receipes.
