the skillet. Cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.

simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.

chopped scallion greens. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 5
minutes. Thicken sauce if necessary with cornstarch and water.

noodles. Spoon sauce over borth. Garnish everything with chopped raw bean
