Notes
Use the sweet type of preserved radish for this dish.
When stir frying the chopped garlic, make sure not to over fry or the dish may taste bitter. Just fry till the chopped garlic is light golden brown.
Be sure not to overcook the long beans and carrots. Otherwise, the dice vegetables will be limped and not crunchy.
The amount of dice ingredients can be varied depending on own preference.
