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.

  3. 5

    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.

    Next, add the soaked and drained bean threads to the skillet. Stir to combine with the vegetables.

    Season the Dish
