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!

Steps:
- For the rice: Bring stock and rice to boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook 18 minutes, shaking pot occasionally.
- For the chicken and green beans: On a gel board, halve chicken breasts horizontally, then thinly slice.
- In a medium glass mixing bowl, whisk up light soy, Shaoxing, cornstarch and peppercorn, add chicken and coat evenly.
- Bring a few inches of water to boil in a deep skillet. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Place a strainer in sink.
- Salt the water. Boil the green beans 3 to 4 minutes, drain and cold-shock in cold water, then drain again.
- For the stir-fry sauce: In a second medium bowl, whisk up the Shaoxing or sherry, light and dark soy, black bean sauce and cornstarch.
- For the stir-fry: Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high to high heat with about 2 tablespoons high-temperature cooking oil. Add chicken and brown (in 2 batches if pan is not large enough to brown without overcrowding), about 5 minutes. Transfer chicken to a platter and add 2 tablespoons more oil, 2 turns of the pan. Add green beans and toss a couple of minutes. Add shallots or leeks, ginger, garlic, fermented black beans if using and chicken brodo and toss 1 to 2 minutes. Add stir-fry sauce and toss. Reduce heat to simmer, add chicken back to pan and toss to combine.
- Line shallow bowls or plates with rice and make a well for the chicken and beans. Drizzle with sesame oil and top with sesame seeds.
STIR-FRIED CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEANS
Of all the easy additions to stir-fries, fermented black beans are among the best. They give a special flavor and look, and the technique is effortless. Furthermore, a year's supply of black beans will set you back about a buck at a Chinese market.

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.

BLACK BEAN SAUCE CHICKEN WITH VEGETABLES
I'm a fiend for black bean sauce so had to try this (tweaked slightly) when I saw it at the Uwajimaya website. Preparation time doesn't include time to cook rice (could also be served over noodles). I'm sure pork could substitute admirably for chicken.

CHICKEN IN BLACK BEAN SAUCE
From my favorite cookbook- The Roosevelt Raccoons "All of Our Favorites" cookbook. The cookbook contains recipes from active parents and teachers of Roosevelt Elementary School, Mankato, MN. It is where I went to school, and my family submitted all of our family favorites for it. So, we probably have 10 copies of the book in our house! This recipe was from Fahn Hakkila, a friend of ours.
