1 Heat oil over medium high heat in a sauté pan. Add garlic, onions and hot chilies when the oil is hot. Sauté for 3 minutes or until the garlic and the onions are fragrant. 2 Add squid. Increase to high heat and stir the squid for 5 minutes or until it’s cooked through. 3 Now place green beans in the pan, then add brown sugar, fish sauce, oyster sauce. Stir a few times until all the ingredients are spread out well. 4 Add basil leaves. Stir once again. 5 Turn off the heat. Sprinkle a pinch of chili powder over the squid. Plate it and serve with rice.
