Both my husband and I love spicy food, and having a Thai mom, I grew up eating Thai food very regularly. I inherited many traits from my mom, one is a preference to not cook from recipes. I think we do much better cooking with our senses. For this green bean stir fry, I pulled together some very basic Thai ingredients I keep on hand. The only ingredient I wish I had had in the fridge was fresh ginger. Regardless, the stir fry was delicious - with all of those well balanced Thai flavors so many of us love - spicy, sweet, salty and of course fresh.
