Method

  1. In a small bowl, combine crushed garlic, soy sauce, miso, curry powder, ginger, and 1 tablespoon of oil. Set aside.

  2. Cut the chicken breasts into ½-inch thick strips. Season with salt and sprinkle with sugar.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

  4. Cook the chicken in a single layer without disturbing it, until it is well browned (about 2-3 minutes).

  5. Flip the chicken and continue cooking until the outside is opaque (it won't be fully cooked through on this side, and that's okay!) for about 30 seconds longer. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

  6. In the same skillet, cook the beans and remaining 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat, tossing often, until the beans are bright green and lightly charred in spots (about 2 minutes). Transfer the beans to the plate with the chicken.

  7. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the reserved curry paste to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, until the paste darkens and the garlic softens (about 1 minute).

  8. Add the peas and ½ cup of water to the skillet.

  9. Return the chicken and beans to the skillet and cook, tossing occasionally, until the sauce is reduced by more than half and thickens (about 2-3 minutes).

  10. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a platter.
