Instructions

- [Seasoning (Lifeblood)] Toss special 'Jiao Yan Fen' (salt, white pepper, five-spice), minced raw garlic, and flash-fried 'Jiucengta (Taiwanese basil)' into the bowl.
- Toss the bowl violently to completely entangle the spices and garlic into the wrinkles of the green beans.

Trivia
[For Adults] The veg menu always ordered alongside meat at fried food stalls to 'erase guilt'. However, having absorbed oil firmly and heavily flavored with garlic and pepper salt, its calories and punch are total junk food. Ruins regular boiled green beans for you.
