1
Chop off both ends of the green beans (or just break them off with your hands), and wash thoroughly.
2
Cut the chicken into small pieces, and marinade with the chicken broth mix, rice wine, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of the corn starch, and 1 teaspoon of the sugar.
3
Take the remaining corn starch, and mix with 2-3 teaspoons of water. Set aside for later use.
4
Heat the wok (or pan) with cooking oil, then add the garlic. Once the garlic starts to turn a little brown, add the chicken and stir-fry until it is almost all cooked.
5
Once the chicken is ready, add the green beans and stir-fry. Add 1/2 cup of water, sugar, and oyster sauce. Cover the wok (or pan) with a lid until the green beans are cooked while the sauce comes to a boil.
6
Grab the corn starch mixture that was prepared from Step #3, and make sure to mix it again, as the corn starch may have settled to the bottom. Add the mixture into the wok (or pan). This will thicken the sauce.
7
Mix for for half a minute, and serve!
