CHICKEN IN BLACK BEAN SAUCE, PAK CHOI WITH GARLIC & OYSTER SAUCE
Description
If I’m not craving a comforting bowl of curry, I’m craving Chinese food. And so this happened!
You have to work quick if you are making more than one Chinese dish. But I’ve learnt to warm the oven, around 100c, so nothing dries out, prep ahead, and then work quickly, using the same wok, wiping it down in between dishes.
Chicken thighs are more succulent and work better with this dish. The umami flavour of black bean is a natural pairing with sliced red chilli and fresh ginger.
You can eat this with a helping of steamed jasmine rice which you can make ahead. And if you are feeling ambitious, soften some onion, scramble an egg & mix it with the rice for an extra layer of flavour.
Enjoy!
