Steps:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch until foamy; season with salt and pepper. Add the beef and chives, toss to coat in the marinade and stick it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Pour the peanut oil in a large skillet or wok and place over high heat. When the oil is smoking hot, add 1/2 of the beef. (If you fry all the meat at once the oil temperature will drop and the beef will stew instead of crisp.) Fry for 2 minutes then remove to a paper towel to drain; repeat with the remaining beef. Very carefully drain all but 2 tablespoons of the hot oil into a safe container.
- Stir-fry the ginger, garlic, green onions, and chile in the remaining oil until they perfume. Add the green beans; season with salt and pepper. Stir-fry the beans for 2 minutes until crisp-tender; remove from the pan. Mix the chicken broth with the remaining tablespoon of cornstarch to make a slurry and add it to the pan. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, peanut butter, and orange peel. Simmer until the sauce is thick, about 5 minutes. Return the beef and green beans to the pan, tossing to coat in the sauce. Garnish with chopped peanuts and serve with rice.

Tips:
- Choose Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh chicken, green beans, and other vegetables for the best flavor and texture. Fresh ingredients will also help the sauce come together more easily.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken can quickly become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side for boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- Use a Good Quality Peanut Butter: The peanut butter is the star of the sauce, so choose a good quality brand that you enjoy the taste of. Look for a peanut butter that is made with 100% peanuts and no added sugar or oils.
- Adjust the Spice Level to Your Taste: The sauce can be made as spicy or mild as you like. Add more or less chili paste to taste. If you are using fresh chili peppers, be sure to remove the seeds before adding them to the sauce.
- Serve with Rice or Noodles: Chicken and green beans in spicy peanut sauce is a great dish to serve with rice or noodles. The sauce is also delicious spooned over vegetables or tofu.
Conclusion:
Chicken and green beans in spicy peanut sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
