- ½ teaspoon crushed red chili flakes more or less to taste

- 1 big handful of green beans about a dozen ends snapped off and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large tomato cut into chunks, or about 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium shallot very thinly sliced
- 1 cup fresh cilantro roughly chopped
- 1 cup Thai basil roughly chopped
