This healthy recipe will be a winner in your home. Your kids will love it and your family and friends will ask for it. If your kids don’t like spices, you can omit the pickle and use a smaller portion of the Chile paste to make sure the dish isn’t too spicy. If you like your beans crunchy and firm, stir-fry them in the oil with just salt and pepper and remove them before they are completely done. You’ll love this meal so much you won’t wait to make it again.
