Cook the Garlic:

Scramble the Egg:
In the cleared side of the skillet, crack the egg and scramble it until fully cooked, breaking it into small pieces with your spatula. -
Add the Green Beans:
Add the sliced green beans to the skillet. Season with salt and sugar to taste. Pour in a small amount of water to help steam the beans slightly, making them tender yet crisp. -
Incorporate the Sauce:
If using “Saos Raja Rasa,” add it to the skillet and stir gently to combine all the ingredients. Adjust seasoning as needed. -
Final Touches:
Stir everything together briefly to ensure an even mix of flavors and textures. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. -
Serve:
Transfer the stir-fried green beans with scrambled egg to a serving dish and enjoy warm.
