Ingredients:
Instructions:

- Slice the red hot chili peppers.
- Roughly chop the Chinese cabbage.
- Spray a large skillet or wok with a short burst of cooking spray oil.
- Heat the skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chopped bacon to the skillet.
- Cook the bacon, stirring occasionally, until it becomes crispy and brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once cooked, remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set it aside. Leave the rendered bacon fat in the skillet for added flavor.
- In the same skillet, add the green beans and cook for about 3-4 minutes, until they start to become tender but still slightly crisp.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
- Add the sliced red hot chili peppers to the skillet.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the peppers to impart their heat into the dish.
- Add the roughly chopped Chinese cabbage to the skillet.
- Stir-fry everything together for about 3-4 minutes, until the cabbage is wilted and tender.
- Return the cooked bacon to the skillet and toss to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting according to your preference.
- Transfer the wombok with bacon and green beans to a serving dish.
- Serve immediately while hot.
Tips:
- Ensure that your ingredients are prepped and ready before you start cooking, as stir-frying is a fast process.
- To retain the crunchiness of the green beans, consider blanching them in boiling water for a couple of minutes before stir-frying.
- If you prefer a milder taste, you can reduce the amount of chili peppers or remove the seeds before chopping.
- Choose a good quality bacon, as it significantly impacts the overall flavor of the dish. You can also opt for turkey bacon for a lower-fat alternative.
- Stir-fry the vegetables on high heat to maintain their color and crunch, and add the garlic towards the end to avoid burning.
