The addition of hot peppers will give a spicier taste if that is preferred.

	2 tablespoons oil
	1 garlic clove, minced (we use 3-4 cloves)
	8 oz (250 g) lean ground/minced meat or poultry
	2 cups snake beans or string beans cut in 1-in pieces
	3 tablespoons fish sauce
	1 teaspoon red curry paste (we use at least a tablespoon)
	1 tablespoon sugar
	1/4 cup sliced green bell pepper
	1/4 cup sliced red bell pepper
	1/4 teaspoon white pepper (optional)
	5-8 green Thai chili peppers, chopped (optional, red curry past is hot)

Heat a large skillet and add the oil and garlic.
Add the meat and sauté on medium-high heat until done.
Add the beans and all the other ingredients, including the chilies if desired, and continue to cook until beans are tender.
