Ingredients

Sesame oil

Skinless chicken breast

450 g, fat trimmed, thinly sliced, (buy 500g)

¼ cup(s), (60ml)

Lime juice

Instructions

  1. Heat a wok over high heat. Add half the oil and heat for 5 seconds. Stir-fry chicken, in batches, for 2–3 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a bowl.
  2. Reheat wok over high heat. Add remaining oil and heat for 5 seconds. Stir-fry onion and capsicum for 3–4 minutes or until softened. Add beans, peas and 2 tablespoons water and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
