Step 1

Step 1
How to fry frozen green beans in a frying pan? Prepare your food. Beans can be used either purchased or from your own plot. When buying beans in a store, you need to check the expiration date; the bean pods should be easily separated from each other and not stuck together in one lump.

Fry the beans over moderate heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring with a spatula, without covering the pan with a lid.
