- This is a healthy homemade version of comforting Chinese takeout. It has a thick, sticky sauce loaded with lots of fresh veggies and tender chicken. Perfect over rice.
Instructions
- Slice tomato into small wedges and thinly slice onion. Prepare mushrooms and beans. In a small bowl, stir hoisin with chili-garlic sauce and ginger. Slice chicken into strips.
- Lightly oil a large, non-stick frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, add chicken and mushrooms. Stir-fry until chicken and mushrooms are golden-tinged, from 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in hoisin mixture, then add tomato, onion and beans. Cover and stir occasionally until vegetables are tender-crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Great with steamed sticky rice.
