Ingredients

  • 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

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 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.

    I used lower sodium everything but it was TOO salty. Next time I won't add salt to the Asian spice bland and hope that helps

    My family absolutely loved this. I was told that I need to make it at least once a week. It's the bomb!
