French Beans with Duck Meat

With 7% inflation hitting our purse, things are getting really expensive everywhere hence it is important to know how to save your every dollar. I bought this duck meat yesterday and we couldn’t finish everything for dinner last night so I kept the meat in the fridge thinking I could heat up again today for our lunch. So this morning when I was cracking brain on the dishes to prepare, the idea just came to me: combining the duck meat to the french beans.

Indeed, this makes a wonderful dish! Er, not too bad lah :p

Ingredients (4 pax share):

- A packet of fresh french beans (bought from supermarket), each French bean sliced into threes.
- 1 carrot (of average size), sliced
- Duck meat, sliced.
- Garlic, chopped finely
- 1 tablespoon of cooking oil
- Water
- Salt to taste

How to cook:

- Heat the wok with cooking oil.
- Add in the garlic once the wok is heated.
- Put in the French beans once the garlic turns slightly brownish and add in some water. The water must be able to cover at least 80% of the French beans so that the beans will be cooked thoroughly. Reduce the heat slightly so that the water will not dry up so fast and leave it to boil. This will not take longer than 10mins.
- Lastly, add the duck meat and leave it to boil for another 3mins before serve on dish.
