Ingredients

6 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breasts, very thinly sliced 1/8-inch thick
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3/4 teaspoon Asian spice blend
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 roasted garlic-red pepper sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Chopped green onions, for garnish

Directions

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 large wok or saute pan, heat the oil over high heat. Add the chicken and stirring constantly, cook until brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the beans and stir-fry until wrinkled, stirring, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 10 seconds. Add the cashews, hoisin, remaining 3 teaspoons of soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, red pepper sauce and red pepper flakes. Stir to coat, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and serve immediately, over white or basmati rice. Garnish with green onions.

Great with modifications!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This dish was great, but I made some changes based on the reviews. First, per Katie of Sea Girt, NJ, I used the following... recipe for the "Asian spice blend": 1 tablespoon 5 spice powder; 1 tablespoon salt; 1 tablespoon sugar; 1 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper; 3/4 tsp. cayenne. Using 5 spice power alone would have been too overpowering. I also lessened the oil to 2 Tbsp. Finally, this recipe doesn't make 4 servings. It only uses 6 oz of chicken breast while other recipes I've seen call for 12 oz (one whole chicken breast) for 4 servings. Next time, I may double the recipe. Otherwise, everything was very good.

Never really good at stir fry...but not this time!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I normally do not make stir fry dishes because I never know which flavors will taste good with each other but this dish... combines great ingredients and gives you restaurant quality taste! Instead of chicken, I made this dish with flank steak and it was fabulous...it soaks all of the wonderful Asian flavors!Read more

My husband and I got a Wok and I wanted to try out new recipes. Since we both love Green Beans, I made Emeril's Chicken... Stir-Fry and it was my favorite so far. The combination of green beans and sesame seeds is simply fantastic. Read more

Some of The Best Chicken Stir Fry I Have Ever Had!!!!!!!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is much more easier than it looks. And all the ingredients that you buy last long for much more batches of this... recipe to make! This recipe is very quick (I usually start boiling the rice before i even start on the stir fry) making this very easy for people who don't like back-breaking cooking thanks Emeril for the good eats!!Read more
