Instructions

Cook the chopped onions for 5 – 10 minutes on medium heat until the onions begin softening and turning translucent. Then, add the canola oil and continue cooking for some more minutes.
Next, add the tomato paste – while stirring – and let the ingredients simmer together for several more minutes.
Before going one snap your green beans on both ends, and then into 2 – 3 smaller pieces. Then, cut your carrots into thin, small pieces that look like sticks.
Then add the carrots and fresh green beans, and stir well before covering. Let the mix continue to cook for at least 10 more minutes.
Finally, add the chopped tomatoes along with the minced garlic and ginger, and some salt, and let them simmer together until the chopped tomatoes get tender.
