Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 1 pound green beans
- 3 tablespoons oyster sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 inch ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Slice the chicken breast into bite-sized strips and set aside.
Trim the ends of the green beans and blanch them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the oyster sauce, soy sauce, water, and cornstarch to create a sauce. Stir well and set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic. Peel and finely julienne the ginger.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.
Add the chicken strips to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if necessary, and toss in the minced garlic and julienned ginger. Stir-fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Add the blanched green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they are tender yet still crispy.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour in the prepared sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and everything to heat through.
Drizzle the stir-fry with sesame oil (if using) and give it a final toss. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Remove from heat and serve hot alongside steamed rice or noodles.
