Dau Que Xao Tom Stir fried Green Beans with Shrimp

shrimp stir fry
This is Vietnamese side dish, my little princess favorite, and so is the whole family. Nevertheless, she seems to love it the most of all :)
Ingredients:
1 lbs grean beans (trimmed and cut into about 1-inch pieces)
4 to 6oz of shrimp, peel and devein
3 cloves garlic, minced
Oyster sauce, Sesame oil, Cooking Wine, Salt, and Pepper
prep green bean
Directions:
Bring a pot of water to a boil, add ½ tbsp salt then add green beans and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and wash under cold tap water for a bout 30 second to a minute to stop it from cooking and keep the crunch and bright green color of the green beans. Set aside 
shrimp marinated
In a bowl, marinade shrimp with pinch of salt, pepper, ¼ tsp cooking wine, ½ tbsp oyster sauce, and ¼ tsp sesame oil. Set aside

Heat a stir-fried pan with 1 tbsp of cooking oil on high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until it turn golden brown. Add marinated shrimp and cook for 30 second. Add 4tbsp of water and cook for another 30 second to a minute or until the shrimp tuen slightly pink evenly on both side. Add cook green beans and sprinkle a good pinch of salt and pepper, toss well and cover the lid for 2 minute. Remove the lid, and give an evenly toss and cover for another 2minutes. I like to have some sauce in my stir-fry dish, so I add about 2 more tbsp of water and cook it for another 1-2 minute with lid covered. This cooking process takes about 5 to 7 minute.
Notice: I myself like my green bean more tender, but if you prefer more crunch and raw. Just cook it less time in cooking process. 3 to 5 minute will be perfect.
Enjoy!
