Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenderloin or chicken breast
- 2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoon olive oil divided
- 1 red onion or sweet onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon black bean with garlic sauce or from scratch
- 1 tablespoon rice wine
- ¼ cup scallion chopped, reserve some for garnish
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into 1-inch bite-sized pieces and transfer to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Add the soy sauce, cornstarch, and sugar, and mix. Set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
- Preheat a medium or large nonstick frying pan for 4-5 minutes on medium heat until a drop of water sizzles in the pan.
- Add 1 teaspoon of oil and swirl to coat. Add the chopped onions and stir-fry they’re slightly translucent and wilted (2-3 minutes).
- Push the onions to the side of the pan and add the remaining oil, add the black bean sauce and stir gently until the sauce is sizzling and fragrant.
- Add the chicken, spread the pieces out, and allow them to sear for 1 minute. Stir fry until it’s no longer pink on all sides.
- Add the rice wine and some of the scallions, stir fry until the chicken cooks through and the rice wine evaporates.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining scallion.
