Creamed Bean Shoots

Servings: 2

Preparation Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

- 100g of Bean Shoots

- 1 teaspoon flour

- 1/3 medium onion, chopped

- 1 clove garlic, minced

- 1/2 cup of milk or cream

- A shake of salt

- A shake of pepper

- Parmesan Cheese

Directions:

1. Add butter to a medium sized pan and melt over medium heat.

2. Add onion and garlic to pan and cook until softened, 3-5 minutes.

3. In a separate saucepan, warm the milk. (Or use the microwave)

4. Add flour, salt, and pepper to the pan with onions and garlic. Stir to incorporate.

5. Pour in the milk. Give it a generous stirring.

6. Evenly add the bean shoots to the pan and cover with a lid. Leave for 2-3 minutes.
