Prepare the aromatics: Heat the cooking oil in a pot or deep skillet over medium heat (approx. 175°C / 350°F). Add the minced garlic and chopped onion. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 2
Add squash and coconut milk: Add the cubed squash to the pot and stir to coat with the aromatics. Pour in the coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until the squash is tender when pierced with a fork. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
⏱️ 12 minutes - 3
Add shrimp and string beans: Add the prepared shrimp and string beans to the simmering coconut milk. Stir gently to combine. Cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and the string beans are crisp-tender. Do not overcook the shrimp, as they can become tough.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Season and finish: Stir in the fish sauce and season with black pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of water (about 1/4 cup) to reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot.
