Chili Garlic Green Bean and Chicken Stir Fry

June 30, 2016  |  This week the wax and pole beans are coming in strongly. I remember that my son actually likes chili stir-fried beans at a local Chinese restaurant so I thought I’d try an adaptation to help deplete the big bowl of green beans that is on my counter. He loved them so much that he asked if I could cook them again tomorrow. Success! This one is getting written down. — Florencia
