Method
 

Preparation
  1. Add sliced chicken to a bowl then add in cornstarch, soy sauce, baking soda, and water. Mix to coat the chicken and allow to sit for 20 minutes.
  2. In the meantime, prepare the sauce by mixing garlic, water, granulated sugar, low sodium soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch in a measuring cup. Set aside.
Cooking
  1. Once the chicken has finished marinating, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet or wok over high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet/wok, add remaining oil and green beans. Cook until blistered, then add 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add the chicken back to the skillet/wok and continue cooking.
  4. Turn heat down to medium, deglaze the pan with Shaoxing wine (if using), then add the sauce. Allow it to thicken and then remove from heat. Stir to coat everything in the sauce.
  5. Serve with white rice.
