How to make french beans stir fry

French beans are rich source of vitamin A,C ,B6 and calcium .I always had french beans in vegetable pulao as at my place we didn't get much french beans. I never explored many recipes of french beans, I missed so nutritious ingredient. But now as here i see lots of french beans in super markets and so i started making french beans stir fry as a side /accompaniment.
