Chicken and Vegetables in Black Bean Sauce image

Categories     Chicken

Number Of Ingredients 14

2-3 lb chicken thighs, boneless, skinless
8 oz fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
3-4 bunch gai lin, broccoli or baby bok choy
1 1/2 Tbsp black bean garlic sauce
1 pt chicken stock
3 1/2 Tbsp cornstarch, divided
4 Tbsp sesame oil
MARINADE
1/2 tsp sugar
2 tsp rice wine or sherry
2 tsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp canola oil

Steps:

  • 1. Using cooking shears, cut chicken into small strips and place in a bowl. Combine marinade ingredients and pour over the chicken. Mix well and set aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Prepare vegetables. Rinse gai lin well and cut into 2 inch pieces diagonally.
  • 2. Heat wok and add sesame oil. Stir fry gai lin, mushrooms and onions over high heat for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are 80% cooked. Set aside. Add remaining sesame oil to the wok. Add chicken and stir fry until the meat is completely cooked. Add black bean garlic sauce and mix well.
  • 3. Add vegetables and continue to cook for another minute. Slowly pour in 1/2 of the chicken broth. Mix remaining 2 tablespoons of cornstarch into the last 1/2 of chicken broth until completely dissolved. Pour into the wok and mix well. The sauce will thicken as it continues to cook. Serve with rice and enjoy!
