Directions Chicken in Garlic and Black Bean Sauce
Directions
-
Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water together in a bowl. Stir in soy sauce, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add chicken, toss to combine. Let stand to marinate, about 20 minutes.
Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add bean sprouts, cook just until blanched, about 30 seconds, drain.
Combine 1/4 cup water, oyster sauce, and sugar together in a small bowl.
Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Add black bean sauce and garlic, cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt, cook and stir until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add marinated chicken, stir-fry until opaque and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in oyster sauce mixture, cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover and simmer until flavors blend, about 3 minutes. Stir in bell pepper, cover and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Dissolve 2 teaspoons cornstarch in 1 tablespoon water. Stir in bean sprouts and cornstarch mixture, cook until sauce is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes more.
