Stir-Fry Chicken and Long Beans

This is a quick, easy, delicious recipe from my childhood friend's mother.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground chicken (ground chicken is sometimes difficult to find; you can ask the butcher to grind it for you)
  • lots of garlic
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 bunch long beans, diced (make sure that they're not sad and limp looking. If you have an Asian grocery store nearby, they probably have good bunches)
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves primarily, chopped (I don't care for cilantro, so I usually leave it out if I make it myself)
  • lime juice (1-2 limes)
  • nampla (fish sauce) to taste

Chop onion, red pepper, and garlic. Stir fry until soft. Add ground chicken. Cook until no longer pink. Add the diced long beans. Cook about 1-2 minutes until soft. Add cilantro, lime juice, and nampla.

Serve over rice.
