Ingredients
For Velveting the Chicken
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
For the Stir Fry
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil divided
- 1 pound frozen green beans
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch optional, for thickening
- 2 green onions sliced (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the sliced chicken breasts with baking soda, cornstarch, water, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix until the chicken is fully coated. Let it marinate for 15-20 minutes. Velveting helps tenderize the chicken and gives it a silky texture.
- After marinating, rinse the chicken under cold water to remove the baking soda. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and cornstarch (if using). Set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with a little salt and pepper. Stir-fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes, until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the frozen green beans directly to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until they are heated through and slightly tender.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the green beans. Pour the sauce over the chicken and beans, stirring to coat everything evenly. Let it cook for another 2 minutes to heat through and slightly thicken.
- Transfer the stir fry to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Notes
- Velvet the chicken—it keeps it tender and silky, just like in restaurant stir-fries. Don’t skip rinsing off the baking soda after marinating!
- Use frozen green beans straight from the freezer. They cook quickly and maintain a crisp-tender texture.
- Whisk the sauce ingredients together before cooking. Having it ready saves time and ensures everything cooks evenly.
- Adjust the sauce to your taste. Add a little extra hoisin for sweetness or a splash of soy sauce for more saltiness.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions for a fresh, crunchy finish that balances the dish beautifully.
