Sunday Breakfast - Szechuan Style

I am huge fan of green beans fresh from Green City Market and the addition of Sichuan mustard greens makes this dish splendid.

I shallow fry the green beans, a method that blisters them on the outside and leaves them tender on the inside but still have a crunch.

This dish is a great extra to any meal especially breakfast. I serve it hot with a side of eggs.

Bon Appetit!
