Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Soak the Bean Threads

    Place the bean threads in a bowl of warm water and let them soak for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are soft. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the bean threads are soaking, julienne the carrot and slice the bell pepper. Chop the green onions and set all vegetables aside.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Aromatics

    Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

    Add the Vegetables

    Add the julienned carrots and sliced bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for approximately 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender.
