Chicken with Black Bean Sauce has that unmistakable savoury depth that makes Chinese stir-fries so addictive. The fermented black beans bring umami, while peppers and onion keep the dish bright and lively.

Serves: 4 people

Preparation time: 30 min

Ingredients

Chicken thigh fillets – 500 g, sliced
Fermented black beans – 2 tbsp, rinsed and chopped
Onion – 1, sliced
Green bell pepper – 1, sliced
Red bell pepper – 1, sliced
Garlic – 3 cloves, chopped
Ginger – 2 cm, grated
Light soy sauce – 2 tbsp
Shaoxing wine – 1 tbsp
Chicken stock – 120 ml
Cornflour – 1 tbsp
Neutral oil – 2 tbsp

Method

1. Marinate the chicken briefly with half the soy sauce and the cornflour while you prepare the vegetables.
2. Mix the stock, remaining soy sauce and Shaoxing wine for the finishing sauce.
3. Heat the wok, add oil and stir-fry the chicken until almost cooked through, then remove it for a moment.
4. Stir-fry the black beans, garlic and ginger until fragrant, then add onion and peppers and cook over high heat.
5. Return the chicken to the wok, pour in the sauce and toss until everything is coated and the sauce lightly thickens.
6. Serve with plain rice so the savoury black bean flavour gets all the attention it deserves.
