Instructions
1.
Wash Hands Wash hands with soap and water.
2.
Combine Ingredients In a medium bowl, toss chicken with cornstarch, a pinch of salt, and 1 Tbsp soy sauce. In a small bowl, stir together the vinegar, sherry, and remaining 2 Tbsp soy sauce.
3.
Cook Green Beans In a large skillet, heat 1 Tbsp canola oil until shimmering. Add chopped green onions and ginger paste. Cook, tossing often, until green onions are softened, about 2 minutes. Add green beans and cook until green beans are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Transfer green bean mixture to another medium bowl.
4.
Cook Chicken Heat remaining 1 Tbsp canola oil in skillet. When oil shimmers, add the chicken mixture in a single layer. Cook, undisturbed, until chicken is browned and caramelized on one side, about 1 minute. Toss and continue to cook until chicken is cooked through and a meat thermometer reads 165°F or higher, about 2 more minutes. Pour in sherry mixture and green bean mixture. Toss until sauce is thickened and all ingredients are well coated.
