Our vegetable garden is doing well despite unforeseen attacks by some very naughty squirrels. We did not have this issue last year but it became a problem as their population in our yard grew. We could prevent the rabbits and deer from getting in but squirrels can climb and fences cannot keep them out.

Fortunately, they were not interested in the green beans or the onions and so these crops were spared. After the bountiful harvest, I used one pound of the green beans and a few shallots to make this tasty Green Beans Belacan Stir Fry, a popular twist on the classic Kangkung Belacan.

The rest of the green beans went into another super easy and popular dish, Green Beans Omelet posted on Malaysian Chinese Kitchen soon.

In this recipe, I cooked the green beans for just a few minutes until they were tender crisp. They were a bright green color and still a little crunchy. It was really good and the family enjoyed it a lot, so much so I cooked it a second time with the second and smaller harvest of green beans.
