Fried French Beans with Fish Balls

French beans, is one of our favourite vegetables. We prefer baby French beans. We like them crunchy & not over cooked. I'd always cooked French beans with minced pork or dried shrimps. This is the first time I tried with fish balls.

Chin's notes: 

1. Oyster sauce is a little salty, I will normally not add salt to the cooking. Hence it may be a bit bland to some. Just add a little salt if you prefer a little more seasoning. 

2. Sprinkle with a little sugar brings up the flavour of the vegetables. 

3. I also like to use ginger to cook my vegetables because I think they make the vegetables taste better.
