Cooking Instructions

Place the Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs (1.5 lb) in a large gallon-sized zip-top bag and add the Corn Starch (4 Tbsp), Kosher Salt (1 pinch), and Ground Black Pepper (1 pinch). Zip the bag and gently toss it to coat the chicken completely in the cornstarch mixture.

While the skillet is heating, mix the Soy Sauce (2 Tbsp), Garlic Paste (1 tsp), and Ginger Paste (1 tsp) in a small bowl and set aside.
6.
Pour the Sesame Oil (3 Tbsp) into the hot skillet and swirl the pan to coat the bottom.
7.
Add the chicken to the hot oil in an even layer and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
8.
Add the steamed green beans and sauce to the skillet and gently stir while cooking for 1-2 more minutes to combine the flavors.
