1

In a bowl, combine the chicken, mirin, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper. Stir to mix, then set aside while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
2

In a bowl, whisk together the oyster sauce, mirin, rice wine vinegar, honey, soy sauce, cornstarch, and sesame oil until well blended. Set the sauce aside.
3

Cut the green beans in half and set them aside. Halve the onion, then slice it into 1/4-inch wedges.
4

Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute. Add the green beans and continue to cook and stir for 2 minutes. Pour in the water and cook until the water evaporates and the beans are crisp-tender, about 2 more minutes. Transfer the green bean mixture to a large bowl.
5

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same wok over high heat. Cook the chicken undisturbed in a single layer for 1 minute. If needed, cook the chicken in two batches to avoid overcrowding. Flip the chicken and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the garlic and stir frequently for 2 minutes. Return the green bean mixture to the wok, then add the sauce. Stir to combine and cook for 1 to 2 more minutes until heated through and the sauce thickens.
