1 tsp olive oil
1inch fresh ginger, peeled, cut into matchsticks
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 onion, thinly sliced into half moons
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp flour
250g skinless chicken thighs, cut in thick cubes
1 tsp fish sauce
1/2 tsp brown sugar
200ml chicken stock
80gm green beans, trimmed, cut into 2cm lengths
1tbsp fresh coriander, chopped

Heat oil and fry ginger, garlic, onion, nutmeg, turmeric and pepper for 5 min.
Add flour and chicken and stir for 2 min.
Add fish sauce, sugar, chicken and stock and cook on medium to low heat for 15min.
For last 3 min of cooking, add beans and heat through.
