Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

6 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, very thinly sliced 1/8-inch thick
7 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
3/4 teaspoon Asian spice blend, recipe follows
1/4 cup dried shrimp
1/2 cup hot water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 pound green beans, stem ends trimmed, cut into 3-inch lengths
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 cup roughly chopped cashews
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon lightly toasted white sesame seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons sirachi (roasted garlic-red pepper puree)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Chopped green onions, garnish
Emeril's Asian Spice Blend:
1 tablespoon 5-spice powder
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
3/4 teaspoon cayenne

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the chicken, 4 1/2 teaspoons of the soy sauce, and Asian spice blend. Toss to coat and let sit for 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, combine the shrimp and water. Let sit for 15 minutes. Drain and roughly chop. In a large wok or saute pan, heat the oil over high heat. Add the beans and shallow fry until wrinkled, stirring, about 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the oil and add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 10 seconds. Add the chicken and stirring constantly, cook until brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chopped shrimp, greens beans, cashews, hoisin, remaining 3 teaspoons of soy sauce, seasame seeds, sirachi, and red pepper flakes. Stir to coat, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and serve immediately, garnished with green onions.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the green beans were cooked perfectly. The sauce was also very good, with a nice balance of sweet and savory flavors.

I made this dish last night and it was delicious! The chicken was tender and juicy, and the green beans were cooked to perfection. The sauce was flavorful and had just the right amount of heat. I will definitely be making this dish again.
