Description
Gently sweet and sour and seasoned with fresh ginger, garlic, and toasted sesame oil, this chicken stir-fry is just as flavorful but far lighter than versions at Chinese restaurants. Green beans and bell peppers add color and crunch, but broccoli or bok choy would be delicious too. A Microplane is the perfect tool to finely grate the ginger and leave any fibers behind. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Danielle Centoni.
