In a frying pan in vegetable oil, fry the chicken pieces until golden brown, so that they do not come into contact with each other. If there is a lot of meat, then fry it in several passes. Remove the fried chicken on a plate.

Put the garlic and ginger in the same pan, fry for 30 seconds and add the green beans. Frozen beans do not need to be defrosted beforehand. Fry until the beans are soft and crispy and the ginger and garlic begin to turn golden.

Note

This recipe is also interesting in that the proportions of beans and meat can be changed depending on what you want to get in the end: meat with beans or beans with meat.

Chicken with green beans can be served with any cereal or pasta. If there was more beans than meat, then the dish can be served without a side dish.

If you replace meat with mushrooms, you get a lean version of the dish. In this cooking option, chop the mushrooms coarsely, roll in starch. Fry the mushrooms until a crust appears.

Then cook according to the above scheme, as with meat.

If you made a mistake and put much more starch in the sauce than you need to correct the situation, add orange juice to the pan until all the starch has dispersed. You will get a lot of sauce, it will look like orange jelly, but the dish will turn out to be very tasty, although completely different!
