Ingredients

1 pound Chicken thigh Cut into bite-sized pieces
½ pound Green Beans cut into 1 inch pieces
3 tablespoon Oil
½ Medium Onion
2 teaspoon Garlic minced
1 teaspoon Ginger

Stir fry Sauce

2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Oyster Sauce
1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
2 tablespoon Chinese Cooking Wine
2 teaspoon Sugar
1 teaspoon hot sauce or Sriracha

Instructions

Mix all the ingredients mentioned for stir fry sauce in a bowl.
In another marinate chicken with 2 teaspoons on the sauce. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
Sear chicken - In a wide wok or skillet, heat 1.5 tablespoons oil. Increase heat to medium-high. Spread marinated chicken in a single layer and cook on high heat undisturbed for 2-3 minutes. Then flip and cook again for 2-3 minutes on medium-high heat.
Remove chicken from the wok and keep aside. Chicken will cook further in the remaining heat.
To the same pan add rest of the oil. Add sliced onion. Fry for a minute, until softens.
Add green beans. If the skillet looks too dry add a splash of water. Then cover and cook beans until tender but still has a bite to it. (By covering with a lid, the steam created helps cook the beans faster.)
Once the beans are almost done, add cooked chicken back to the skillet followed by white part of the onion, and pour stirfry sauce around the edges. Toss everything on medium-high heat until the sauce thickens and stick to the chicken.
Finish it off with toasted sesame seeds and green onion.
