Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, sliced thinly about 1/4-inch strips
- 2 cups green beans, trimmed and snapped fresh beans recommended for crunch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce can substitute with tamari for gluten-free
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce adds glossy umami depth but can be substituted
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil for flavor and aroma
- 2 cloves garlic, minced adds brightness
- 1 teaspoon ginger, minced adds warmth and spice
- salt and pepper to taste to season
- cooked rice or noodles for serving recommended for serving with stir-fry
Instructions
Preparation
- Prep everything first: chop the chicken, trim the green beans, mince the garlic and ginger, and measure the sauces into a small bowl.
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the sesame oil.
- Add minced garlic and ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let them brown.
- Scatter the sliced chicken in a single layer over the aromatics and cook until no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add green beans and stir-fry for another 3–4 minutes until they are tender-crisp.
- Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, stirring to coat the chicken and beans evenly.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot over cooked rice or noodles.
Notes
For added crunch, toss in toasted sesame seeds or chopped peanuts before serving. Use high heat for proper stir-frying and avoid overcrowding the pan.
