Categories     Chicken and Poultry

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 chicken breasts ((about 12 ounces/340g, cut into 1/8-inch thick slices))
3 tablespoons water
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon oil
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
3 tablespoons oil ((divided))
3 slices ginger ((julienned))
3 cloves garlic ((smashed and chopped))
3 scallions ((chopped and separated into white and green parts))
3 tablespoons fermented black beans ((washed and drained))
1 green bell pepper ((cut into bite-sized pieces))
1 red bell pepper ((cut into bite-sized pieces))
½ teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
¼ teaspoon salt ((or to taste))
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Combine the chicken and the marinade ingredients in a bowl, and mix until all the liquid is absorbed. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
  • Pre-heat your wok over high heat, until it starts to smoke. This step is essential, as it prevents the chicken from sticking to the wok. With your spatula, spread 2 tablespoons of oil over the bottom of the wok. Add the chicken, and quickly spread the pieces into a single layer. Let the chicken cook for about 30 seconds, flip, and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. The chicken is done once it turns opaque--be careful not to overcook it. Turn off the heat, transfer the chicken to a dish, and set aside.
  • Next, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the wok over medium heat. Add the ginger, and let it cook for 15 seconds. Next, add the garlic, the white parts of the scallions, and the black beans. Stir for another 30 seconds. Now turn up the heat to high. Add the green and red peppers, and stir fry for about a minute. Add the sugar, Shaoxing wine, salt, the chicken, 2 tablespoons of water, and the green parts of the scallion. Quickly stir-fry everything well to coat in the sauce, and serve!

Stir-Fried Chicken With Black Beans image

Categories     Stir-Fry     Dinner     Quick & Easy     Quick and Healthy     Chicken     Bean     Garlic     Ginger     Green Onion/Scallion     Sesame Oil

Yield Serves 4, with rice

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons fermented black beans
2 tablespoons rice wine, dry sherry, or white wine
1/4 cup peanut or neutral oil, like grapeseed or corn
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 cup sliced onion
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into 1/2- to 3/4-inch chunks or thin slices and blotted dry
1/4 cup chopped scallion, plus more for garnish
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock, white wine, or water
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil

Steps:

  • Soak the black beans in the wine. Meanwhile, put a large, deep skillet over high heat. Add half the oil, swirl it around, and immediately add half the garlic and ginger. Cook for 15 seconds, stirring, then add the onion. Raise the heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft, about 5 minutes. Remove the onion.
  • Still over high heat, add the remaining oil to the pan, then the remaining garlic and ginger. Stir, add the chicken, stir again, then let it sit for 1 minute before stirring again. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken has lost its pink color, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn the heat down to medium, add the scallion, and toss. Return the onion to the pan and add the sugar if you're using it and the soy sauce. Toss again, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then add the beans with their liquid and the stock. Raise the heat to high and cook, stir-ring and scraping the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced slightly and you've scraped up all the bits of chicken, about a minute. Turn off the heat, drizzle on the sesame oil, garnish with scallion, and serve.
  • 12 Simple Additions to Stir-Fried Chicken:
  • You can throw almost anything you like into a stir-fry, but these are some of my favorites; some require a trip to an Asian market, but many will be in your pantry.
  • 1. Add 1 tablespoon or more of bottled hoisin, plum, oyster, or ground bean sauce with the soy sauce.
  • 2. Add 1/4 teaspoon or more Vietnamese-style chile paste, chile and black bean paste, or chile-garlic paste with the liquid.
  • 3. Add 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil with the soy sauce. A tablespoon or so of toasted sesame seeds is also good, alone or with the oil.
  • 4. Toss the chicken chunks with 1 tablespoon curry powder or five-spice powder.
  • 5. Toss in 1/2 to 1 cup raw or roasted cashews or peanuts when you return the vegetables to the pan.
  • 6. Omit the stock or water and add 1/2 to 1 cup coconut milk along with the soy sauce.
  • 7. Add 1 cup chopped fresh tomato when you return the vegetable to the pan.
  • 8. Replace half the soy sauce with nam pla (Thai fish sauce) or freshly squeezed lime juice or vinegar.
  • 9. Add 1 cup mung bean sprouts when you return the vegetables to the pan.
  • 10. Add 1/2 cup chopped shallot with the chicken.
  • 11. Use snow peas, mushrooms, or other quick-cooking vegetables, alone or in combination, in addition to or in place of other vegetables.
  • 12. Stir in 1/4 cup cooked grains (like barley, wheat berries, buckwheat, or quinoa) when you return the vegetables to the pan.

SKILLET CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEANS, RICE AND CHILES



Skillet Chicken With Black Beans, Rice and Chiles image

Adapted from Diana Henry's "From the Oven to the Table: Simple Dishes That Look After Themselves," this true one-pot wonder of chicken, black beans, rice, tomatoes and chiles will make everyone at the table happy. As the chicken thighs roast, the cumin-scented rice soaks up all of the delicious juices. When the timer chimes, the rice and chicken emerge from the oven perfectly cooked. Be sure to use a 12-inch skillet here; a smaller or larger pan might result in under- or overcooked chicken or rice. Leftovers, if you have any, are great in tacos or enchiladas.

Categories     dinner, weeknight, casseroles, grains and rice, one pot, poultry, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
Flaky sea salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or peanut oil
1 large yellow or white onion, chopped
2 green or red bell peppers, halved, seeded and sliced
2 1/2 cups chicken stock
2 red Fresno chiles or jalapeños, halved, seeded and chopped
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick, broken in half
3 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed
1/3 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup basmati rice, rinsed in a sieve until the water runs clear
3 tablespoons chopped cilantro leaves
Lime wedges, pickled chiles, sliced fresh chiles, sour cream and sliced avocado, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat the oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet (the pan size is very important) over medium-high. Brown the chicken on both sides to give it good color, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Add the onion and bell peppers to the pan and sauté until just starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Meanwhile, add the Fresno chiles or jalapeños, cinnamon, garlic and cumin to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, then add the black beans and cherry tomatoes. Season generously with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the rice on top in an even layer. (It's important that the black beans are beneath the rice and chicken. The rice will burn otherwise.) Add the stock and return the chicken to the pan, skin-side up.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 40 minutes. The chicken should be lovely and golden, the stock should be absorbed and the rice should be tender. Sprinkle with the cilantro. Serve with lime wedges, pickled chiles, sliced fresh chiles, sour cream and avocado (squeeze some lime juice over the avocados in a bowl and sprinkle with salt and pepper).

AUTHENTIC BLACK BEAN CHICKEN



Authentic Black Bean Chicken image

Fermented black beans are found in Asian markets and once you buy them, they last pretty much forever! Also called salted black beans, they're used in the black bean chicken you order from Chinese take-out and has a much different flavor than the Mexican type of black beans. From chef Fuchsia Dunlop with my addition of some red pepper for color! Also check out my review of Recipe#247607.

2 1/2 inches piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
4 scallions, green parts only, cut in 1 1/2-inch pieces

CHICKEN FRIED RICE WITH FERMENTED BLACK BEANS



Chicken Fried Rice with Fermented Black Beans image

Categories     Bean     Chicken     Rice     Side     Stir-Fry     Spring     Sugar Snap Pea     Gourmet     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kosher

Yield Serves 4 as a main course

Number Of Ingredients 18

For marinade
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 3/4 pound total)
1 red onion
1 large red bell pepper
1/2 pound snow peas
3 tablespoons fermented black beans
2 1/2 tablespoons corn or safflower oil
For seasoning liquid
1 tablespoon chicken broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or sake
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
5 cups chilled Chinese-style white or brown rice
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh gingerroot

Steps:

  • Make marinade:
  • In a small bowl stir together marinade ingredients. Add chicken to marinade, turning it to coat. Marinate chicken at room temperature while preparing vegetables. Cut onion and bell pepper into 1/4-inch dice. Trim snow peas and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Rinse black beans and mince.
  • Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry. Discard marinade. In a heavy non-stick skillet heat 1/2 tablespoon corn or safflower oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté chicken until browned on bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook over moderate heat 6 minutes, or until just cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and cool completely. Recipe may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and ingredients chilled separately in sealable plastic bags.
  • Cut chicken into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • Make seasoning liquid:
  • In a small bowl stir together seasoning liquid ingredients.
  • Spread rice in a shallow baking pan and separate grains with a fork.
  • In a deep 12-inch heavy non-stick skillet heat remaining 2 tablespoons corn or safflower oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and stir-fry black beans, garlic, and gingerroot 20 seconds, or until fragrant. Add onion and bell pepper and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add snow peas, chicken, and rice and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through. Stir seasoning liquid and add to fried rice, tossing to coat evenly.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: To save time, chop the vegetables, cook the chicken, and prepare the sauce ahead of time. Store them separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Use Day-Old Rice: Freshly cooked rice tends to be too moist for fried rice, resulting in a mushy texture. Using day-old rice helps prevent this issue and gives the rice a better texture.
  • Control the Heat: Use high heat to stir-fry the rice, ensuring it cooks evenly and gets a nice charred flavor. Be careful not to crowd the pan; cook the rice in batches if necessary.
  • Add Sauce Gradually: Start with a small amount of sauce and add more to taste. This helps prevent the rice from becoming too salty or overpowering.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Before serving, garnish the fried rice with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or a drizzle of sesame oil for a pop of color and extra flavor.

Conclusion:

This chicken fried rice with fermented black beans is a delightful dish that combines the flavors of savory chicken, aromatic vegetables, and tangy fermented black beans. By following the tips and tricks mentioned above, you can create a flavorful and authentic Chinese-style fried rice that is sure to impress your family and friends.
