Chicken In Black Bean Sauce - A Delicious Chinese Side Dish

Chicken in black bean

Don’t we all love Chinese food simply because of its unique mouthwatering flavours and the most uncomplicated techniques of making them? It’s just a matter of chopping all and dropping all into a pan and giving a quick toss and a turn, pouring in sauces and, voila! job done! It is that easy and the taste is supreme too.

The generous amount of vegetables used in this recipe makes it much healthier and more versatile. While stirfrying the veggies I tried my best to keep their original colours intact which in turn made this dish look absolutely delightful with such an exotic assortment of colours blended together!

I bet, you will stop buying this dish from takeaways once you start making it at home because the homemade chicken in black bean sauce with all the colourful and crunchy veggies will become an instant favourite of your family and friends. There are many brands of black bean sauce available in supermarkets but I have always been loyal to the Blue Dragon brand which has the right balance of flavours and the right thickness to the sauce. Also, Amoy brand soy sauce goes just so well with it.

So, let’s get on with making this glorious dish!
