Trim the beans and cut them into 1-inch lengths. Blanch the beans
by dropping them into a pot of boiling water and boiling rapidly for 3-4
minutes or until they are just tender. Drain immediately in a colander and
rinse under cold, running water. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium flame. When hot,
put in the mustard seeds. As soon as the mustard seeds begin to pop, put in the
garlic. Stir the garlic pieces around until they turn light brown. Put in the
crushed red chili and stir for a few seconds. Put in the green beans, salt, and
sugar. Stir to mix.
