Ingredients:
|
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut in small

1 tablespoon soy sauce

Directions:
|
- Cut chicken into small pieces, and cut up veggies (I've used snow peas, broccoli, onion, carrot, etc). Some veggies take longer to cook, so cut those into smaller pieces.
- In a small bowl, add black bean sauce, soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.
- In a wok or large sauce pan, add 1 tablespoon cooking oil and then add ginger (I use bottled), stir fry 10 seconds or until fragrant. Add chicken breast pieces and cook until done (about 5-7 minutes). After chicken is cooked, remove from pan and add another 1 tablespoon oil. Add veggies and cook until crisp-tender (a couple of minutes). Add chicken back, then add the black bean sauce mixture and stir fry until everything is hot and coated with the sauce. Serve over rice.
- Stacy's Notes - we had a black bean sauce dish at Mr Chen's that I really enjoyed, so I looked online to find one similar. I found one that looked easy, at (of all places), YouTube. I followed the recipe, making a few adjustments. I have not used broccoli, since Tim is not fond of it. I use onion, sometimes carrot, sugar snap peas or one time I used a bag of stir fry veggies. The first time I made this, I used the amount called for in black bean sauce (and used a no sodium chicken broth, since I had read that black bean sauce was very salty). But Tim wanted more black bean sauce, so the next time, I added more to the mixture, probably close to 2 tablespoons, and maybe a bit less soy sauce. I use bottled ginger and serve over rice with either egg rolls or potstickers. Good!
