GINGER CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the broccoli and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes or until broccoli is tender.
• Add the ginger and garlic to the pan and cook for 30 seconds more.
• Remove the vegetables from the pan; place them on a plate and cover to keep warm.
• Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel and turn the heat to high. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and add them to the pan in a single layer - you may need to do this step in batches. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
• Add the broccoli mixture back to the pan and cook for 2 more minutes or until the vegetables are warmed through.
• In a bowl whisk together the oyster sauce, chicken broth, sugar, sesame oil, soy sauce and cornstarch.

• Season chicken with salt, pepper, and zest. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large straight-sided skillet on high; add chicken and cook 4 minutes. Flip; add garlic, 1 teaspoon ginger, beans, and 1/3 cup water. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer until chicken is just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes. Coarsely chop cilantro.
• Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add a pinch of salt and couscous; remove from heat, cover, and let stand 5 minutes. Cut cucumbers into 1/2-inch pieces and tomatoes into 1/2-inch wedges. Toss both with 1/4 cup cilantro and remaining 1 teaspoon ginger and 3 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Fluff couscous with a fork; stir in remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Slice chicken; serve, with beans, cucumber salad, couscous, and lemon.

GREEN BEANS WITH GINGER AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and fill a large bowl with ice water. Working in two batches, boil beans until just tender but still crisp and bright green. Start testing after 4 minutes or so, being careful not to overcook. When done, plunge beans into ice water to stop cooking, lift out immediately when cool and drain on towels. (Recipe can be made to this point up to a day in advance and kept refrigerated, wrapped in towels.)
• When ready to cook, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wide skillet over high heat. Add half the beans, half the ginger and half the garlic, and cook, stirring and tossing constantly, until beans are heated through and ginger and garlic are softened and aromatic. Sprinkle with salt, and remove to a serving dish. Repeat with remaining oil, beans, ginger and garlic. Serve.

HOT AND STICKY NOODLE BOWLS WITH CHICKEN, CHILES AND GREEN BEANS

Steps:

• Place the chicken in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm it up. When firm, thinly slice the chicken on an angle and reserve.
• Bring a few inches of water to a boil and fill a medium bowl with ice water. Par cook the beans, 3 to 4 minutes, then shock in the ice water. Drain and pat the beans dry, and reserve for later use.
• Heat half of the vegetable oil over high heat in large skillet. Pat the chicken dry and sprinkle with black pepper. Add the chicken to the hot pan and stir-fry until brown, then remove. Add the remaining vegetable oil, and heat it up. Then add the beans and stir-fry until they begin to brown. Add the garlic, chiles, onions and ginger, and stir-fry until tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the stock, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, honey, Sriracha and sesame oil. Toss to combine, and then turn off heat. Cool and store for a make-ahead meal.
• To serve, bring the chicken mixture to room temp for a few minutes and heat a pot of water to boil for the noodles. Salt the water and cook the pasta to al dente.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the stir-fry oil in large skillet over high heat and quickly heat up the chicken mixture. Drain the noodles and toss with the chicken. Top with sesame seeds and scallions.
