Ayam Tumis Buncis: Indonesian Chicken & Green Bean Stir-fry

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Add chicken pieces and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the same skillet. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Add green beans to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they are bright green and slightly tender-crisp.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add kecap manis, soy sauce, white pepper, and water. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has slightly thickened and coats the chicken and green beans.

Serve immediately with steamed white rice.
