Chicken Stir-Fry with Broccoli and Green Beans – Gluten-free version

The secret here is a very hot wok: the broccoli and green beans char lightly at the edges and stay crisp inside, and the sauce clings to every piece in a glossy layer. Gluten-free version: Gluten-free soy sauce (tamari).

    💡A very hot wok and a few vegetables at a time: crowded vegetables release water and steam instead of charring, and lose their crunch.
  4. 4
    Stir-fry the chicken strips in batches, 4–5 minutes per batch, until golden, and transfer to a plate.
    Stove
  5. 5
    Add the broccoli and green beans and stir-fry 4–5 minutes, stirring constantly.
    Stove
  6. 6
    Add the onion, red pepper and mushrooms and keep stir-frying 2–3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  7. 7
    Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry 30 seconds, until fragrant.
    Stove
    💡The garlic and ginger go in last: in the heat of the wok they burn within seconds.
  8. 8
    Return the chicken strips to the wok.
  9. 9
    Pour the sauce into the wok and keep tossing 1 minute, until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
    Stove
