Ingredients
Scale
Protein & Vegetables
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, thinly sliced
- 2 cups green beans, trimmed and halved
- 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
Noodles & Sauce
- 8 oz noodles (such as egg noodles or rice noodles)
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (for stir-frying)
- 1 tsp sesame oil (optional, for finishing)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Thinly slice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Trim and halve the green beans. Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger. Cook the noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.
- Stir-Fry Chicken and Green Beans: Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook, stirring frequently, until it starts to turn golden and is nearly cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Add the green beans and grated ginger to the skillet and continue stir-frying until the green beans are crisp-tender and the chicken is fully cooked, about 4 more minutes.
- Toss with Noodles: Add the cooked noodles directly to the skillet with chicken and green beans. Pour the soy sauce evenly over the mixture and toss everything together gently but thoroughly. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the noodles to heat through evenly.
- Finish and Serve: If using, drizzle sesame oil over the stir-fried noodles and give one final toss. Serve immediately while hot for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken breast with thighs for a juicier texture.
- For gluten-free option, use tamari or gluten-free soy sauce and rice noodles.
- Add chili flakes or sliced fresh chili for some heat.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or carrots for extra crunch.
- Use fresh ginger for the brightest flavor; powdered ginger is not recommended.
