  • Use a wok: A wok is the ideal cookware for this dish. It allows you to cook the chicken and vegetables quickly and evenly.
  • Use high heat: Chinese cooking is all about high heat. This helps to sear the chicken and vegetables and create a flavorful sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the wok: Cook the chicken and vegetables in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the wok. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a cornstarch slurry: A cornstarch slurry is a simple mixture of cornstarch and water that is used to thicken the sauce. Be sure to add it slowly and stir constantly to avoid lumps.
  • Serve immediately: Chinese chicken with green beans is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will ensure that the chicken is tender and the vegetables are crisp.
