We lived in Edmonton, Alberta a few years ago. Over there we would frequently visit a local family owned Thai restaurant. There, one of our favourite dishes was the shrimp & green beans stir-fry. It’s really a simple dish to make. Fresh green beans, shrimp, ginger-garlic, some soy sauce, red chilli sauce, white vinegar, and a hint of Thai chilli sauce and sesame seeds. When all these ingredients come together, it just tastes so good! Adjust the seasonings according to your taste buds. Try it on its own like a starter or with some jasmine rice.
Ingredients

Notes
Adjust seasonings according to your taste. I do not add salt and pepper to this dish as the soy sauce in itself is quite salty. Use more or less of the seasonings according to your taste.
