Stir-Fried Chicken with Green Beans

Here is another healthy recipe that I like to make in a short time. Fresh green beans are very easy to find, especially during summer, but frozen green beans works fine. Serving hot cooked rice will complete an easy meal.

Ingredients:
1/2 lb. chicken breasts or thighs, sliced
1 tbs cornstarch
1/2 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp cooking wine
2 cups green beans
1 onion, thickly sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
Stir-fry sauce ingredients:
1/2 cup water
3 tbs soy sauce
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1tbsp cooking wine
1 tsp cornstarch

Garnish with chopped cilantro
Serve with rice

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, soy sauce, and cooking wine. Add to the chicken. Let marinate for 1 hour.
Combine the stir-fry sauce ingredients and mix well.
Bring a pot of hot water to boil. Blanch the green beans in the hot water for 1 minute and quickly submerge in cold water to stop the cooking. Drain.
In a wok, add 2 tbs of peanut oil over high heat.  Stir fry onions and garlic until fragrant. Add chicken and cook until almost all the chicken is longer pink. Add green beans and sauce. Stir-fry quickly over high heat; Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
