Woo Can Cook String Bean Chicken (Panda Express)

- hello hi everyone! Wesley here. Today we’re diving back into our series on Panda Express Hacks with a shot at their string bean chicken, which we’re gonna deconstruct, and then see if we can’t amp it up a bit with some of my favorite additions drawn from more traditional Chinese wok cooking. For those not familiar, Panda Express’ string bean chicken features (as you might guess) string beans (or green beans, depending on who you ask), sweet white onion, and a bit of chicken breast done in a fairly mild “ginger soy sauce,” (or at least, that’s what they call it). To me of course, ginger and soy sauce are in most Chinese stir fries already, so that sauce could very well be really anything.
So, I’m taking a bit of liberty with my attempt here, and adding a couple of ingredients to bring out a little bit more savory umami and heat, with a couple of ingredients that you’ll likely recognize from some of our more traditional recipes. This is mainly gonna be done with the addition of dark soy sauce, black bean paste, and my favorite combination of heat elements, some Chinese doubanjiang, and spicy chili crisp or “lao gan ma.” Hope you try it.
Woo Can Cook is a series where we reproduce fun foods and recipes from my childhood. Some of them are authentically Chinese and/or pan-Asian, but a lot of them are odd Americanized versions that I inherited from my parents and grandparents while growing up in the Bay Area/California. We're live streaming every Mon/Tues/Thurs at 6:30PM PST, with new recipes out every Friday!

This dude can cook. The Casio watch is a nice touch too
Haha thanks!
A GREAT RECIPE AND AS I DO I LOVE USING DARK MEAT FOR RECIPES LIKE THESE. IT TASTES SO MUCH BETTER.
thanks!
Terrific recipe! My only comment is that a couple of the ingredients I have zero experience finding or using. But (sigh) I will try this with what I have (which is many Asian sauces and pastes already in my larder.

It’s beyond an umami bomb…that dark soy is all I taste. Needs some moderation.
Oh no! I would recommend diluting the sauce with a little bit of water, then adding it in in batches of about 3-4 tbsp at a time, to taste. The dark soy sauce and bean paste are both quite concentrated, so if you throw it all in, it could definitely become overpowering
I will admit, I try to follow your recipe but it’s not apparently printed and I was trying to follow the video…that was hard for an old foodie like me.
You forgot to put the "www" in your recipe and site links. www.woocancook.com/string-bean-chicken
Good catch! Fixed! 🤘🏽🤘🏽
