Stir-fries have been my favourite since my childhood. I was so fond of them that my mum always used to cook them. As a child, I was a very choosy and fussy eater. There are a few veggies which I used to avoid and fuss about. French beans were one of them.
Falling in Love for Homemade Food:
My mother used to try this vegetable in different combinations to make me and my sister eat this veggie. But later when moved to a hostel for my graduation, I used to miss my family and homemade food.
It was during my vacations, that I came to know how tasty my mum used to cook. That is when I started eating almost everything my mum cooked.
Though not my favourite, I now don’t have any inhibitions eating french beans. But my son is reluctant to eat any kind of beans. I have been trying different recipes to add this vegetable to his food.

How To Make French Beans Stir Fry Recipe with Toasted Sesame:

My Notes:
- This is a quick fry. The cook time for this recipe is just 5 – 7 mins. So make sure you are alert while cooking and you don’t end up burning the food.
- You can keep the roasted sesame seeds handy as they have longer shelf life than the fresh ones. Roast the sesame seeds on a low flame with continuous tossing until nice aroma. Let them cool and store in an airtight container. This can be used instantly in any preparations.
