I usually love cooking from scratch i.e. using fresh ingredients while cooking , buit there are certain exceptions I make while cooking chinese or thai. Even though i make and store certain chinese and thai sauces/ pastes/ spices, black bean paste is best bought from a speciality store.
This is again another easy to make dish, you can control the gravy this dish has. Without the gravy this can be used as a starter, just make sure to have thin long strip for chicken if you want to serve as a starter. For a gravy cubes work best.
Marinate together 250 gms boneless chicken ( i prefer using the breast side pieces as it is leaner) , 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sugar, 2 tsp cornflour.
1 cup chicken stock, 1 tblsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp black bean sauce, dry red chilies broken into medium size pieces, 1 tsp chopped garlic, salt to taste,
Heat 1 tsp oil in a pan. add in the red chilli pieces and the garlic.Add the marinated chicken. Toss on a high flame for 2 minutes, then lower the flame and toss for another 5 mins. Add salt, soy sauce, black bean sauce and chicken stock. Adjust seasoning. Mix 2 tsp cornflour to 2 tbsp water.When the mixture boils, add the cornflour water . Mix till the gravy thickens.
Serve with Fried Rice or noodles.
