Green Beans in Thai Chili Sauce

Green Beans in Thai Chili Sauce

My dad is the stir fry king.  He normally makes this for us when I need to make Lily (my puppy) her soft food topping because we have the rest of the ground turkey to use.  There are a lot of great flavors in this dish, and it has a ton of veggies.   We have it with brown rice. 

Green Beans in Thai Chili Sauce

2 Tbsp. peanut oil

4 dried Thai Chili’s
1-2 Tbsp. ginger, minced

2 Tbsp. sliced shallots 
1 lb. lean ground turkey

2 Tbsp. lime juice
3 Tbsp. roasted red chili paste
1 Tbsp. sweet red chili sauce
1  lb. thin green beans, sliced into 1 inch pieces

1 Red Pepper, diced

1. Heat the peanut oil in wok over high heat.  Add the Thai Chili’s and cook for about 45 seconds to flavor the oil.  Remove chili’s and discard.  

2. Add ginger and shallots stir-fry for 30 seconds until just beginning to turn golden.  Put in green beans and cook for 2 minutes.   Add the ground turkey, lime juice, roasted red chili paste and sweet red chili sauce. Cook until turkey is almost brown, 3-4 minutes.   Add red pepper and cook for 1-2 minutes, until peppers are softened. 

3. Serve over rice.
