Instructions

6 steps

1

Wash and dry all produce.

Peel and mince or grate ginger. Trim green beans, if necessary; cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces. Trim and thinly slice scallions, separating whites from greens.
2

Melt 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings) in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add half the ginger; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute.

Stir in rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups water for 4), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.
3

Meanwhile, place green beans in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Add a splash of water, then cover with plastic wrap and microwave until tender, 1-2 minutes. Uncover, drain, and set aside.

Heat a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add peanuts, 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings), and 2 TBSP water. Cook, stirring, until water has evaporated and peanuts are coated and lightly toasted, 3-5 minutes.

Turn off heat; transfer to a small bowl. Wash out pan.
4

Open package of chicken* and drain off any excess liquid.

Heat a drizzle of oil in pan used for peanuts over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes.
5

Stir green beans, scallion whites, remaining ginger, and 1 tsp sugar (2 tsp for 4 servings) into pan with chicken. Cook, scraping up any browned bits from bottom of pan, until ginger is fragrant, 1 minute. TIP: If ginger and scallions begin to brown too quickly, reduce heat to medium low.

Stir in Szechuan paste, sweet soy glaze, and ¼ cup water (⅓ cup for 4). Cook, stirring, until everything is thoroughly coated in sauce, 1-2 minutes.Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired. Remove pan from heat.
6

Fluff rice with a fork; season with salt and pepper.

Divide rice between bowls and top with stir-fry. Sprinkle with scallion greens and peanuts. Serve.
