Chicken and Vegetables in Black Bean Sauce image

I was always under the belief that Gai Lan (Chinese Kale) was Chinese BROCCOLI, but you gotta love the Internet with its abundance of information and pictures!

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!

I'm not a huge fan of black bean sauce, but this dish was surprisingly good. I'll definitely make it again.

This was a great recipe. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and it was still very moist and flavorful.

This recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great! I especially liked the addition of the water chestnuts. They added a nice crunch.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise this dish was very good. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less sugar next time.
