Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 200 g string beans (green beans), trimmed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 piece red chili, sliced (optional for heat)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 piece lime, cut into wedges (for serving)
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 4 cups cooked jasmine rice (for serving)
Instructions
Slice the chicken thighs into thin strips and set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the minced garlic and sliced chili to the skillet, stirring until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
Add the chicken strips to the skillet and stir-fry until they are no longer pink and slightly golden (about 5 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil and the string beans. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, or until the string beans are tender-crisp.
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Return the chicken to the skillet, and pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and string beans. Toss everything together until well-coated and heated through (about 2 minutes).
Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve hot with lime wedges and jasmine rice on the side.
