Fine French Beans are sliced into 1cm rounds and wok tossed into a rich and spicy Sichuan Mapo Tofu dish seasoned with rich and savoury Lee Kum Kee Chilli Bean Sauce, drizzled with quality Lee Kum Kee Double Deluxe Soy Sauce, and Lee Kum Kee Seasoned Rice Vinegar for a tantalising tangy note. Umami heaven and perfect comfort food served with Jasmine Rice.

French Beans are packed with nutritional goodness – they contain vital nutrients vitamins A and C, minerals including iron, calcium and magnesium, they are low in calories and contain no saturated fat. They impart a lovely tender crunchy bite to the dish, adding texture and a sweet flavour.
