Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken breast, boneless, skinless cut against the grain into inch-thick slices
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Mirin or Shaoxing wine or cooking wine
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup chicken stock or water
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
  • 3 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cups green beans, fresh string beans washed and trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 medium white onion, chopped into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Equipment

  • Wok or Large Skillet
  • Measuring Spoons and Cups
  • Bowls for Mixing
  • Whisk
  • Knife and Cutting Board
  • Tongs or Spatula

Method
 

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the soy sauce, Mirin, cornstarch, and brown sugar. Add the thinly sliced chicken breast and stir until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together chicken stock, oyster sauce, low sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, cornstarch, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or pan over high heat. Add marinated chicken in a single layer and cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until golden brown, then flip and repeat. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate.
  4. In the same pan, sauté green beans and white onions for 2-3 minutes until green beans are slightly crisp and onions are just softened.
  5. Reduce heat to medium, return chicken to the pan, pour in the sauce, and stir well. Sauté everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the chicken and vegetables.

Notes

For a crispy texture, consider using French petite green beans and blanching regular green beans before stir-frying. You can easily customize the dish by adding other vegetables or adjusting the sweetness with honey or more brown sugar. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat on the stovetop for the best texture. Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions before serving for added flavor and presentation. Enjoy!
