Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Baby potatoes (halved or diced)
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 whole Red chili (thinly sliced)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 200 grams Green beans (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 1 medium Red bell pepper (sliced)
- 10 grams Fresh Thai basil leaves
- 30 grams Crushed peanuts (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and cut the baby potatoes in half (or into bite-sized pieces if large). Place them in a pot of salted water and boil for 10-12 minutes until just tender but not falling apart. Drain and set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sliced red chili. Stir fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the boiled potatoes to the skillet and stir fry for 2-3 minutes to lightly crisp their edges.
Stir in the green beans and red bell pepper. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables soften slightly but still retain some crunch.
In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and lime juice. Pour the sauce over the vegetables and potatoes, stirring well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to caramelize and coat the ingredients.
Turn off the heat and toss in the fresh Thai basil leaves, letting them wilt slightly from the residual heat.
Transfer the stir fry to a serving plate and garnish with crushed peanuts if desired. Serve immediately as a main dish or alongside steamed jasmine rice.
