Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat until shimmering. Add 1 lb thinly sliced boneless chicken breast and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until chicken is cooked through and starting to brown.
  2. Step 2: Add 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 julienned medium carrot, 1 cup trimmed green beans, and 1/2 cup English peas. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are bright and tender-crisp.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, and 3 sliced spring onions. Cook for another 1 minute until sauce coats the ingredients and is fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the stir-fry, toss to combine, and remove from heat. Serve immediately with steamed rice or noodles.
