Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced Use halal-friendly chicken.
  • 2 cups green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce Ensure it's halal-friendly.
  • to taste Salt and pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by prepping your chicken breast, slicing it into thin strips. Trim your green beans and mince the garlic and ginger.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding your chicken.
  2. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pan. Stir-fry for a minute until fragrant.
  4. Toss in the trimmed green beans. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, which will keep them crispy yet tender.
  5. Drizzle the soy sauce and oyster sauce over the mixture and stir it well. Ensure that everything is coated in the delicious sauce.
  6. Give it a quick taste test! Adjust the seasoning if necessary, and cook for another minute, allowing the flavors to combine.
  7. Remove from heat and serve hot, perhaps with a side of steamed rice or noodles.

Notes

For a different protein, try substituting chicken with halal-friendly shrimp or tofu. Aim to keep green beans vibrant and crunchy. Add heat with sliced green chili or chili flakes if desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat on stovetop over medium heat.
