Stir-fried French Beans with Ginger and Black Bean Sauce Recipe

French beans, known variously as haricots verts and green beans are a staple of Francophone cookery. They also work very well in stir-fries (I often cook them with noodles). Here they are transformed into a delicious accompaniment by stir-frying with black bean sauce. This dish makes a very fast to prepare (it can be done in 15 minutes) accompaniment.
