INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
    • 🌱 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed

  • Seasoning and Marinade

    • 2 tablespoons chili oil (such as Mongolian Fire oil), divided
    • 3 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
    • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (Optional)
    • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
    • 1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
    • 🧄 ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
    • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
    • 🧂 Salt to taste
    • 1 teaspoon chicken base
    • 💧 ½ cup water
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

  • Additional Ingredients

    • 🧅 ½ cup sliced shallot
    • 2 tablespoons cooking oil, divided

STEPS

1

Stir together 1 tablespoon chili oil, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and white pepper in a bowl. Add chicken pieces and mix with marinade. Set aside.

2

Combine remaining 1 tablespoon chili oil and soy sauce, mirin, garlic, ginger, and salt in a small bowl; set sauce aside.

3

Heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken pieces and sliced shallots. Cook, stirring frequently, until the chicken is no longer pink at the center and the liquid has evaporated, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm.

4

Heat remaining tablespoon cooking oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add green beans and cook, stirring frequently, until beans turn bright green, about 1 minute. Add sauce and stir to coat.

5

Return cooked chicken and shallots to the skillet and stir, about 3 minutes.

6

Stir together chicken base and water in a small bowl; stir in cornstarch to make a slurry. Drizzle slurry into the skillet, stirring quickly. Continue cooking until pan sauce slightly thickens. Serve garnished with sesame seeds.
