Chicken and Asparagus With Black Bean Sauce image

Another recipe from Sunset's Chinese Cookbook. A lovely combo of flavors. Over the years we have changed the recipe to suit our tastes. Love it, love it, love it! Oh, by the way, you can also make this using beef or shrimp.

Time 35m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons dry sherry
1 teaspoon water
1 lb chicken breast, skinned, boned and cut in bite size pieces
3 1/2 tablespoons salad oil
1 lb asparagus
1 tablespoon fermented black beans with garlic
1 tablespoon ginger, grated
1 medium onion, cut in wedges horizontally with layers separated
2 tablespoons water
1/2 tablespoon dry sherry
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup chicken broth or 1/2 cup water
1/2-1 teaspoon chili oil
1/2 tablespoon white vinegar

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine cornstarch, soy sauce, dry sherry and water. Add chicken and stir to coat, then stir in 1 1/2 tsp of the oil and let stand for 15 minutes to marinate.
  • Prepare cooking sauce and set aside. Wash asparagus and break off tough ends; cut in 1/2" slanting slices.
  • Heat a wok over high heat. When pan is hot, add 2 tbs of the oil. When oil begins to heat, add black bean w/garlic and ginger; stir once. Add chicken and stir-fry until chicken is opaque (about 3 minutes). Remove chicken from pan.
  • Add the remaining 1 tbs oil to pan. When oil is hot, add asaragus and onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the 2 tbs water, cover and cook stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender (about 2 minutes). Return chicken to pan. Stir cooking sauce, add to pan, and cook, stirring, until sauce bubbles and thickens.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken turned out dry. I think I should have cooked it for less time.

I was skeptical about the black bean sauce, but it was delicious! It had a slightly sweet and savory flavor that complemented the chicken and asparagus perfectly.

This dish was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, the asparagus was crisp and bright, and the black bean sauce was rich and savory. We will definitely be making this again.
