Method:

1. Combine the fish sauce, soy sauce, Splenda, and guar in a blender. Blend for several seconds, then turn off the blender and add the basil and red pepper flakes, and set aside.

2. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a wok or heavy skillet over high heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic, chicken, and onion, and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the green beans, and continue to stir-fry until the chicken is done through.

3. Stir the blended seasoning mixture into the stir-fry, turn the burner to medium, cover, and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes (the beans should be tender-crisp).
