Chicken Stir-Fry in Black Bean Sauce
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, sliced
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 3 tablespoons black bean sauce with garlic
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1 onion, finely sliced
  • 1/2 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
1
To prepare the marinade, combine cornstarch and water in a small container; stir until smooth. Introduce soy sauce, sugar, and salt into the mixture; blend well. Incorporate chicken into the bowl; mix until evenly coated. Allow to marinate for 20 minutes, undisturbed.
2
Boil water in a saucepan; add bean sprouts and cook until they are just tender, approximately 30 seconds. Remove from heat; drain excess water and set aside.
3
Combine water, oyster sauce, and sugar in a small bowl; blend until well combined. Set aside for later use.
4
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat; add black bean sauce and minced garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Introduce chopped onion into the skillet; cook and stir until softened, approximately 3 to 4 minutes.
5
Add chicken to the skillet with marinade mixture; stir-fry until cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 4 to 5 minutes. Combine oyster sauce mixture; cook until heated through. Cover the skillet and simmer, allowing flavors to blend, about 1 or 2 minutes. Introduce bell pepper into the skillet; cover and cook until softened, approximately 1 to 2 minutes more.
6
Combine cornstarch and water in a small container; stir until smooth. Introduce bean sprouts into the mixture; blend well. Combine with sauce and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 2 to 3 minutes more.
