Boil 12 cups of water with 1 tablespoon of salt until boiling.

Taste the water; it should taste like a broth, a little on the salty side.

Once boiling, add the French green beans and cook until they turn bright green.

Remove the green beans once cooked and toss the water.

Place the pan back on the burner over medium to high heat.

Add a little bit of oil to the pan.

Dice one onion and one shiakei mushroom, then add them to the pan.

Peel and mince three cloves of garlic, then add to the pan.

If it feels dry, add more oil.

Add ground chicken to the pan and stir until golden.

Add 1 teaspoon of flour to thicken the sauce.

Deglaze the pan with sake, scraping the bottom to get all the flavors.

Add the cooked green beans back to the pan along with the sauce mixture.

Stir everything around for 10 seconds and turn off the heat.
