Shallots
- On a Dutch oven pot, add oil about 2 inches thick and heat up to 350F.

Salad
- Bring a large pot with salted water to a boil, and cook the green beans in batches until tender.
- Once cooked, drop them in ice water.
- As soon as they are cold, take them out of the water and pat dry them (the longer they sit in water, the more flavours and nutrients they will lose).
- Cut them in half and store them in a bowl.

- Adjust the seasoning and place in a large salad bowl.
- Garnish with chilli flakes and crispy shallots. Add the pea shoots on top.
