Ingredients
- 10 green beans (buncis), sliced
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 meatballs (baso), thinly sliced
- 2 shallots, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bird’s eye chilies (cabe rawit), finely chopped
Instructions
-
Prepare the Green Beans: Start by slicing the green beans in half lengthwise, then cut them into bite-sized pieces. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water and set aside.
-
Prepare the Meatballs: Slice the meatballs into thin, bite-sized pieces.
-
Beat the Egg: In a small bowl, beat the egg until well mixed and set aside.
-
Cook the Aromatics: Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots, minced garlic, and bird’s eye chilies. Sauté until fragrant and the shallots become translucent.
-
Add Green Beans and Meatballs: To the pan, add the sliced green beans and meatballs. Stir-fry for a few minutes until the green beans start to soften.
-
Incorporate the Egg: Push the green beans and meatballs to one side of the pan. Pour the beaten egg into the empty side of the pan, allowing it to cook slightly. Once it begins to set, gently scramble the egg.
-
Combine and Simmer: Mix the scrambled egg with the green beans and meatballs. Add a splash of water to the pan to help the ingredients combine and cook evenly. Stir everything together and let it cook for a few more minutes until the green beans are tender and everything is well combined.

Serve: Once cooked through, remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish. Serve hot as a delicious side or main dish.
