Gai Pad Khing, also referred to as Stir Fried Chicken with Ginger and Green Beans, is a classic Thai dish that is easy to make and bursting with spicy, authentic flavor. This dish is particularly popular in Thailand, where it is commonly served with rice or other grains. While it is traditionally cooked with fresh ingredients, this recipe opts for frozen green beans to make the dish more accessible to those living in colder regions of the globe. You can adjust the spice level of the dish to your liking by increasing or decreasing the amount of curry paste used, making it a versatile meal that the whole family can enjoy.
