*: fat content is most likely lower, since that value is for non-drained and non-rinsed ground beef. Research has shown decrease of 25% to 75% of the fat for drained and rinsed ground beef. Since the range is so large, I am hesitant to put an actual number.

Cooking instruction
1. Brown ground beef, drain the fat and then rinse with hot water. Put aside and marinade with oyster sauce and sugar.
2. Heat wok, put string beans inside and cover until beans are cooked (should take around 5-7 minutes). Put aside.
3. Brown garlic in wok, and then mix in beef, string bean, fish sauce and pepper. Stir fry and mix well. Enjoy!

1st attempt
The beans are crunchy, but not hard. The beef taste just right. Not as fancy as the other stuff, but good. =)
