In the same pan, go ahead and add another tablespoon of oil.

Next, add in the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent.
Now, toss in the carrot, beans, capsicum, and the white part of the spring onions. Stir-fry everything on high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until they're just tender but still have a nice crunch.
