Units
Scale
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoon of rice wine
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup yellow onion, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon black bean sauce
- 12 ounces green beans, trimmed, cut into 3-in pieces
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken
In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil, cornstarch, and sugar until smooth. Add the chicken and toss until evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes. - Stir-fry the chicken
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and stir-fry, stirring constantly, until the chicken begins to brown and is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the chicken to a plate. - Cook the vegetables
Add the onion, garlic, and black bean sauce to the wok and stir-fry briefly until fragrant. Add the green beans and ¼ cup of water, then cover and cook for about 3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp. - Finish the dish
Return the chicken to the wok and toss everything together over high heat until well mixed and heated through, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
