Chicken and Green Beans Stir Fry

Having lived in Singapore for ten years I love Asian food and I absolutely adore making chicken with veggies.  Simple one pot meals that can be made quick easy and simple. If you cook Asian food than almost all dry ingredients can usually be sourced in your pantry.

This one is a Chicken and Green Beans Stir fry, some onions,garlic, soy, sesame oil, Sesame seeds and  lighter sauce to blend all the flavors together with chicken and beans. Perfect week day dinner or lunch. Serve it with a bowl of noodles and you have a full luscious meal

This stir fry is a quick easy and healthy recipe

I love stir fry dishes. Those of you following me on Instagram should be seeing a few variations on these in My Story

  • First of all, they are the best thing for working mom like me that have no time to cook.
  • Furthermore you can use frozen veggies so your prep time is almost zero.
  • Most of all veggies stay crisp and retain all the nutrition unlike boiling them.
  • Noodles take only  4 minutes to cook
  • Chicken is a much healthy meat option and cooks faster
  • Stir fry is high heat cooking and cooks so fast!! hence dinner in less than 15 minutes is a possibility.
  • Asian cooking is usually dependent on prepared  store brought sauces which have a long (really long) shelf life. You can use them for a long time for such easy quick dishes.

  • Rice vinegar – 1 tbsp
  • Cornflour/Cornstarch – 1 tbsp
  • Sesame Oil – 2 tbsp
  • A few drops of Tabasco sauce (to taste)

METHOD

Preparation

  • Clean wash and pat dry the chicken. Cut into bite size cubes.
  • Add the soy sauce, garlic, cornflour, salt and pepper. (use less salt as the soy sauce has salt too)
  • Stir well and set aside to marinate for 30 minutes on the counter or a couple of hours in the fridge.
  • Slice the onions and separate the slices
  • Grate the garlic and slice the ginger to thin slices.
  • Chop the parsley.
  • Place all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

Stir Fry

  • Stir fry is generally a quick dish – so ensure you have the above all ready before you turn the flame on.
  • Add 1 tbsp canola or sunflower oil into a wok or wide surface pan.
  • Next add the chicken pieces in a single layer.
  • Followed by the sliced, onions garlic and ginger.
  • Let cook on medium high tossing them as you need too until almost done.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and keep warm.
  • Add another 1 tbsp of oil to the wok or pan and add in the beans.
  • Saute for about 3 to 4 minutes tossing them as needed.
  • Add about 2 tbsp of water to create steam and help them cook without sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • They should be tender to bite into but still firm to hold up straight.
  • Add the chicken back into the wok. Stir well.
  • Add in the sauce. Stir fry for about 2 minutes on medium until every thing is well coated with the sauce.
  • Taste and adjust for seasoning – the soy sauce can be salty so taste first then adjust seasoning.
  • Add the sesame seeds and garnish with chopped herbs such as cilantro or parsley and green onions.

  3. Looking at your pictures, it’s like I can taste the dish myself! It looks so good. I’d like to see how it would do with alternative noodles. Like the yam noodles or spaghetti squash.

  13. Veena, this dish looks so appealing. I made almost the same dish for dinner last night, but I wish I had seen this blog post beforehand. I would have added a few drops of hot sauce to help me fight off this cold. 🙂
