This protein packed meal is a as delicious as it is nutritious and incidentally on of my son’s favourite dishes. He will be always so happy and satisfied to eat this alone with rice. He says that it’s the crunch of the fine beans that he likes the most which is surprising because he has declared himself a carnivore so for him to like a dish with vegetables means that the dish must be really good. Cooking this is very easy with not much steps required. =). You may also use French beans if you like but we prefer fine beans which are like French beans but are narrower in size.
