Serves: 6

1 lb of Green Beans
½ lb of Carrots
1 Sweet Bell Pepper
3 Tablespoons of Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons of Lime Juice
1 Tablespoon of Fish Sauce
1 Tablespoon of Peanut Butter
1 Tablespoon of Red Chiles or Chile Paste
½ teaspoon of Tumeric
¼ teaspoon of Grated Ginger

Slice the green beans at an angle. Slice the carrots into thin discs or even strips.  Core the bell pepper and slice into strips about the size of the green bean.  Combine the soy sauce, red chile paste, lime juice, fish sauce, turmeric, ginger, coriander, peanut butter, and water in a bowl.

Heat a wok to medium heat and add the olive oil (not the sesame oil).  Add the green beans and stir fry for about 2 minutes. Add the carrots.  Add the sauce mixture and continue to cook with intermittent stirring for about 7-8 minutes until the sauce reduces.  Add in the chopped bell pepper and continue to cook for another 2 minutes.  Remove from heat and fold in sesame oil and basil.  Garnish with chopped nuts, serve and enjoy!
