| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Fresh green beans | 1 ½ pounds |
| Cream of mushroom soup | 1 can (10.5 oz) |
| Milk | ½ cup |
| Soy sauce | 1 tablespoon |
| Black pepper | ½ teaspoon |
| Garlic powder | ½ teaspoon |
| French fried onions | 1 cup |
| Shallots | 2 medium |
| Vegetable oil | ½ cup |
| Garlic (minced) | 2 cloves |
| Cornstarch | 1 tablespoon |
| Salt | To taste |
Cooking Instructions:
- Prepare the Green Beans: Trim the ends off the fresh green beans and cut them into 1 to 2-inch pieces. Blanch the green beans in boiling salted water for about 5 minutes until they are tender-crisp. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer the crispy shallots to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
