Ingredients
For the Stir Fry:
1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1 lb (450g) fresh green beans, trimmed
2 tbsp vegetable oil (divided)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
2 green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
For the Sauce:
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp honey or brown sugar
1/2 cup chicken broth or water
1 tsp cornstarch (mixed with 2 tsp water to form a slurry)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and chicken broth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add chicken slices and cook for 4–5 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Add remaining 1 tbsp oil to the skillet. Toss in green beans and stir fry for 3–4 minutes, until crisp-tender.
Add garlic and ginger; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Return chicken to the skillet, pour in the sauce, and bring to a simmer.
Stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until the sauce thickens, about 1–2 minutes.
Garnish with sliced green onions if desired. Serve hot over rice or noodles.
Notes
For extra spice, add 1/2–1 tsp chili flakes or sriracha to the sauce.
Works great with frozen green beans — just thaw before cooking.
Can be made gluten-free by using tamari instead of soy sauce and gluten-free oyster sauce.
