Stir-Fried Green Beans with Chicken

This easy stir-fried dish works as well with other vegetables and meats or shrimp. Choosing the skinny, firm pods or sometimes called French beans is better; they are considerably tastier than the lighter green beans.  

Ingredients:

1 chicken breast, thinly sliced

Marinade ingredients:

1 tsp soy sauce

1 tsp cooking wine

1/4 tsp sugar

1 tsp cornstarch

1 tsp vegetable oil

Pinch of salt 

Sauce ingredients:

1 tbs soy sauce

1/4 cup water

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp seasoning 

Other ingredients:

1/2 pound of green beans

1/2 white onion, sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

3 green onions, cut into 2 inch lengths

3 tbs peanut oil

Directions:

In a bowl, combine the marinade ingredients and add the chicken. Mix well and let it marinate for 1 hour.

In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tbs of oil over the high heat. Add minced garlic and stirfry until fragrant.

Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink.

Add the rest of the oil and stir in the beans and the white onion. Cook for 2 minutes and add the sauce.

Continue to cook for 5 minutes or until the beans are crispy and tender.

Add the green onions to wok and toss well. Sprinkle with black pepper.

The green beans are now ready to serve with hot cooked rice.
