Sesame Chicken Green Bean Stir Fry This is one of my favorite dinner recipes. It is quick and easy and everyone loves it. For the sauce 1/3 cup soy sauce 1/3 cup water 2 garlic cloves minced 2 tbsps brown sugar 1 tbsp sesame oil 1 tbsp rice vinegar 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger 1 tbsp sesame seeds 1 tsp red pepper flakes 1 tsp cornstarch For the chicken 1/2 tbsp sesame oil 1-2 chicken breasts 1/2 tsp garlic powder salt and pepper For the veggies 1/2 tbsp sesame oil 2 carrots sliced 1/2 onion chopped 1 red bell pepper chopped 12 ozts green beans ends removed and cut in halves or thirds Cashews for topping -Mix together sauce ingredients and set aside. Note if you do not like spicy foods I would cut the pepper flakes back to a quarter or half a teaspoon -Add 1/2 tbsp sesame oil to large plan and turn on over medium heat. Because I cook with cast iron I also add some butter to ensure my food does not stick. -Once pan is warmed add chicken and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until done and remove and set aside. -In same pan add 1/2 tbsp sesame oil. Add onions and carrots and cook 4 minutes. Than add green beans and bell peppers and cook 8 minutes. -Add chicken back to pot. -Turn heat to low and add in sauce. Cook for 4 minutes. -While my sauce is thickening I put my cashews in another pan and lightly toast them. You can also do this by putting them in the oven. -Serve over white rice. You could also serve over fried rice however I find that white rice is a better compliment to this dish.
