Thinly slice beans lengthwise. Cut them in half first if using a bean cutter.

Chop the base of spring onions leaving green leaves attached to each other. Trim then thinly slice from the top to almost the base. Put in a bowl of iced water to curl.

Put coconut chips in a microwave-proof dish. Cook on high for 2 minutes, stirring halfway so they brown evenly.

Arrange all stir-fry ingredients within easy reach.

Heat coconut oil in a wok, until hot. Add red onion and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add peppers and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add beans and whites of spring onion. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Add herbs, season and serve with spring onion curls and coconut chips. - Serves 4 as a side.
