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.

Categories     Chicken Thigh & Leg

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb boneless chicken thighs
1/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon light soy sauce

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

1 tablespoon shaoxing wine or 1 tablespoon sherry wine
2 -3 teaspoons dried chili pepper flakes

  • Drain off all but 3 tablespoons oil from the wok, then return it to medium heat; add the ginger and garlic and stir-fry for a few minutes until they are fragrant and the garlic cloves are tender.
