    Flip and toss to mix everything together.

  8. Step 8

    Add garlic chivesbean sprouts, stir-fry for 20 seconds and turn off the heat. Serve immediately.

    Warm the oil in a deep pan or a flameproof casserole dish over medium-low heat. Add the onion with a pinch of salt and sauté for 10-12 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and peppers and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the coriander stalks, spices, oregano, sugar, and chipotle paste, if using. Continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes until everything is well combined and softened. Add the beans with their liquid, the tomatoes, and stock. Season generously and bring to a simmer.
