Ingredients

  1. 6 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, very thinly sliced 1/8-inch thick
  2. 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  3. 3/4 teaspoon Asian spice blend
  4. 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  5. 1/2 pound green beans, stem ends trimmed, cut into 3-inch lengths
  6. 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  7. 1/4 cup roughly chopped cashews
  8. 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  9. 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  10. 1 tablespoon lightly toasted white sesame seeds
  11. 1 1/2 teaspoons roasted garlic-red pepper sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
  12. 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  13. Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine the chicken, 4 1/2 teaspoons of the soy sauce, and Asian spice blend. Toss to coat and let sit for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large wok or saute pan, heat the oil over high heat. Add the chicken and stirring constantly, cook until brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the beans and stir-fry until wrinkled, stirring, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 10 seconds. Add the cashews, hoisin, remaining 3 teaspoons of soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, red pepper sauce and red pepper flakes. Stir to coat, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and serve immediately, over white or basmati rice. Garnish with green onions.

This turned out great! Served over basmati rice and cooked the stir fry in a cast iron skillet. I added sliced white onions and omitted the sriracha. Will make again.

Every time it is green bean season, we are making this recipe. It turns out great every time!

I loved the concept of this recipe.  I wonder why the picture posted has bean sprouts and the recipe does not?  Also, this was waaay too much oil for this dish.
