Chicken Stir-Fry with Green Beans and Bean Sprouts

Chicken breast strips stir-fried with green beans, carrots and onion in a slightly sweet soy sauce. The bean sprouts go in only after the heat is off, so they stay crisp.

👨‍🍳 Method

    Bowl
  2. 2

  3. 3
    In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, black pepper and water into a smooth sauce.
    Bowl
  4. 4
    Heat the wok over high heat until very hot, then add the oil.
    ⚙ Pan-fryingStoveWok
    💡A very hot wok and a few vegetables at a time: crowded vegetables release water and steam instead of charring, and lose their crunch.
  5. 5
    Stir-fry the chicken strips in batches, 3 minutes per batch, until golden, and transfer to a plate.
    Stove
  6. 6
    Add the carrot and green beans and stir-fry 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
    Stove
  7. 7
    Add the onion and yellow pepper and keep stir-frying 2–3 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  8. 8
    Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry 1 minute, until fragrant.
    Stove
    💡The garlic and ginger go in last: in the heat of the wok they burn within seconds.
  9. 9
    Return the chicken strips to the wok.
  10. 10
    Pour the sauce into the wok and keep tossing about 1 minute, until the sauce thickens and coats everything.
    Stove
  11. 11
    Turn off the heat, add the bean sprouts and stir 20 seconds, so they stay crisp.
  12. 12
    Serve immediately with white rice.
