Wash the fava bean kernels and drain well. Place the flour in a bowl and mix with 150g of water until smooth.

Place a wok over high heat, add the cooking oil and heat until hot, then add the fava beans and stir-fry briefly. Pour in 100g of water along with the prepared sauce mixture and bring to a boil.
