How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken
- You can use various parts of the chicken for stir-frying, such as chicken breast, chicken thighs,… however, to make the dish tastier, you should choose chicken thighs as the meat will be more tender and sweeter, while breast meat can be a bit dry.
- Choose a chicken with characteristic golden skin, thin and smooth outer layer, good elasticity, and the meat inside should have a natural pink-red color, not too pale or too dark, and without many bruises or blood clots.
- Press with your hand to check if the chicken is injected with water. If the chicken feels mushy, slippery, or deformed, do not buy it.
- If buying frozen chicken, choose to buy from reputable supermarkets or stores to ensure product quality.

How to choose fresh and delicious green beans (string beans)
- Delicious green beans are usually long and slender, flat without any bulges.
- If there are many bumps, it means the beans inside are large and the beans are old, which is not tasty.
- Do not choose green beans that look too appealing, such as shiny and smooth with few hairs, as they may have been sprayed with a lot of pesticides, and the remaining residues are not good for health.

Prepare the ingredients
To remove the smell and clean the chicken, rub it with salt, wash it several times with water, then remove the fat from the surface of the meat and cut it into thin pieces suitable for eating.
Trim the ends and the fibrous sides of the green beans, then wash them clean and cut them diagonally into pieces about 2 finger lengths long.
Next, place a pot of water on the stove to boil, add the green beans for a quick blanch. From the time you add the beans until the water boils, blanch for 1 minute, then remove the beans and rinse with cold water.
Peeled garlic, smashed and minced. Cut off the roots of the green onions, wash them clean, and cut into pieces about 1 finger length.
