Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast (or thighs), sliced against the grain into 1/4” (5mm) thickness
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 2 tablespoons fermented black beans (or black bean sauce)
- 1/3 cup chicken stock
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons peanut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1 lb green beans, cut to 1” (2.5 cm) long pieces
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 teaspoons ginger, minced
- 2 green onions, chopped
Instructions
- Combine the chicken with all the marinade ingredients in a bowl. Stir well and let marinate for 15 minutes while preparing the other ingredients.
- Mix the sauce ingredients in a medium bowl until well combined.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Spread the chicken in a single layer and sear until golden on the bottom, about 1 minute. Flip and cook the other side until golden, another minute. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of oil and the green beans to the skillet over medium heat. Sear the green beans, stirring occasionally, until browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Reduce to medium-low heat if necessary.
- Increase heat to medium-high again and add garlic, ginger, and onion. Drizzle with additional oil or chicken stock. Stir and cook for one minute to release the fragrance.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Stir the sauce to dissolve the cornstarch and pour into the pan. Stir until the sauce thickens and coats everything, then transfer to a plate. Serve over steamed rice.
Notes
For extra flavor, add red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Use fresh green beans for the best texture and taste.
Ensure the chicken is cooked through before serving.
