Stir Fried Beans & Minced Meat in Coconut Cream

I could not hide my excitement as I danced round the kitchen when I finished cooking today’s dish, tasted and found out what a bomb I had just produced from my kitchen. The idea for this dish actually came from fried rice, so you will basically find all the vegetables and you will normally find in fried rice but I replaced the rice with beans. The coconut cream in the sauce brings everything together and with the addition of one my favourite foods, dodo, you eat and lick fingers.

If you still think that you are missing out on some other carbohydrate besides dodo and the sweet corn, you will find it interesting to pair this dish with white rice.

Enjoy yet another healthy offering from my kitchen.
