Tender chicken coated in savory black bean sauce with ginger and garlic, a delicious Malaysian-Chinese dish. Perfect over rice or veggies.
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1.5 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast meat - cubed
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 (2 inch) pieces fresh ginger, cut into matchsticks
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.25 cup fermented black beans, rinsed and mashed
  • 2 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 4 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 small carrot, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
  • 1 teaspoon thick soy sauce
Instructions:
  • In a large glass or ceramic bowl, combine light soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, and pepper. Add chicken and mix well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let marinate in the fridge for 10 minutes.
  • Bring water in a large skillet to a boil over medium-high heat. Add chicken mixture and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until chicken is partially cooked. Drain water, transfer chicken to a plate, and set aside. Clean the skillet.
  • In a skillet, warm vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté ginger and garlic until fragrant, approximately 1 minute. Add chicken, black beans, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Cook chicken until it's no longer pink, around 10 minutes. Mix in red and green bell peppers, green onions, carrot, oyster sauce, and thick soy sauce. Stir and cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
