Chicken in black bean sauce is a very popular and our family favourite dish in the Chinese cuisine. I end up making it at home as well. Use boneless chicken pieces or shredded chicken for this recipe.
Ingredients:
Chicken ........... 200 gms. (boneless)
Garlic .............. 2 tsp.
Ginger ............ 1 inch piece ( julienned)
Red capsicum .... half (sliced)
Green capsicum ... half (sliced)
Spring onion ....... 2 bulbs with leaves ( chopped)
Ajinomoto ........ a pinch
Black bean sauce .. 1 tbsp
Soy sauce.............. 1 tbsp
Corn flour ........... 1 tsp
Black pepper ........ 1/4 tsp
Vinegar ............... 1 tbsp.
Oil........................ 2 tbsp.
Salt ............... to taste
Method:
1. Clean and slice the chicken fillet into thin strips.
2. Marinate the pieces with one tsp. garlic and soy sauce.
3. Heat oil in a wok and add the remaining garlic. Saute and add the marinated chicken. Stir-fry for a few minutes and simmer it to cook.(about 7-8 minutes).
4. Now put the capsicums, onion and ginger. Add the black bean sauce, ajinomoto and a little salt. Saute for 2-3 minutes.
5. Mix the corn flour in half a cup of water and add to the chicken. To finish it sprinkle the black pepper and simmer for half a minute.
(If you want to keep the consistency dry then add only quarter cup water)
Serve with plain rice/fried rice/noodles.
Too good Shaobha!!Can v add veggies instead of chicken?
ReplyDeleteThanks Prathima.
DeleteYes you can add tofu and also veggeis like bamboo shoot, broccoli, baby corn. only the cooking time will be less as the vegetables have to be crunchy and not fully cooked.
