Tasty Stir-Fried Broad Beans

Stir-fried broad beans are an unusual and exotic food to Western eyes. As such, they can make delicious starter to go with drinks (on cocktail sticks) or they can be served as a simple vegetarian first course. They are, of course, most delicious when they are as fresh as can be, but they are also quite acceptable in frozen form. Here they are simply stir-fried in the wok, the various seasonings giving the beans a richness of taste.
