- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, roast the beans by flipping them every 10 minutes, and continue the process for about 30-40 minutes until they are tender and wilted.
- The last step is to add ginger, chile, and garlic to the beans and stir in some vinegar and fish sauce for a nice flavor. You can also add some seasoning or salt according to your taste. The dish is ready to be served, topped with some peanuts or sesame seeds and torn mint!
