EZCR#132-ANG CHOW FRENCH BEANS

ANG CHOW FRENCH BEANS aka [STIR FRY FRENCH BEANS WITH RED YEAST RICE RESIDUM].  If you are familiar with red yeast rice residum [ang chow in Hokkien dialect], you may like to try out this recipe for a change. 

This is a healthy, good dish.  Aromatic and tasty stir fry French beans. I have skipped the waterchestnuts but with it would be great as waterchestnuts is sweet and crunchy.

You can cook this as a vegetarian dish by substituting the minced meat with dried gluten pieces and omit the chopped garlic.  I believe it would be a great vegetarian dish.
