1. raw peanuts ¼ cup
  red pepper flakes to taste
2. peanut oil 4 teaspoons
  fresh ginger 2 Tablespoons, chopped
  lemon zest 1 Tablespoon
3. green beans 6 oz.
  salt to taste
4. raw catfish 4 oz.
  garlic 6 cloves chopped
5. raw catfish 4 oz.
  garlic 6 cloves chopped
8. lemon juice 1 Tablespoon (or to taste)

1. Toast the raw peanuts in your toaster oven for the same amount of time as you toast bread. Chop them and put them aside in a bowl with the red pepper flakes.

2. Put the peanut oil, ginger, and lemon zest in a cold nonstick frying pan and stir them around to distribute the oil evenly.

3. Cut the green beans into inch-long pieces and put them and the salt into a bowl.

4. Cut the catfish into inch-sized chunks and put it and the chopped garlic into a bowl.

5. Turn a high flame up under your frying pan. Cook the ginger and the lemon zest till you can smell the ginger, about 2 minutes.

6. Add the green beans and salt to the frying pan; let them cook undisturbed till the green beans are browned, 4-5 minutes, stir them once, and let them cook undisturbed for another 2-3 minutes.

7. Add the fish and the garlic and stir to distribute them evenly among the green beans. Cook till you can smell the garlic, 2-3 minutes.

8. Add the peanuts and the red pepper flakes, and squeeze the lemon directly into the pan. Stir everything once, then cook till everything is warmed through, 2-3 minutes.
