  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (for marinade)

  • 1 tsp Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)

  • 1 tsp cornstarch (for marinade)

  • 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed

  • 1 medium onion, sliced

  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger

  • 1 tsp Shaoxing wine (for sauce)

  • 1/2 tsp sugar

  • 2 tbsp water

  • 1/4 tsp cornstarch (optional, for thicker sauce)

  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  • Marinate chicken with soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and cornstarch. Let sit for 15–20 minutes.

  • Blanch green beans for 2–3 minutes, then rinse under cold water.

  • Mix sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

  • Heat oil in a skillet or wok. Stir-fry chicken until golden and cooked through. Remove.

  • Add garlic and ginger to the pan. Stir-fry for 30 seconds.
