Preparation

In a wok, heat peanut oil until just smoking. Add chicken and cook, stirring, until both sides are just beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Deglaze wok with a splash of rice wine. Add leeks, ginger, and hot chili oil; and stir-fry for another minute. Add fermented black bean. Stir in soy sauce, water, and rice vinegar to coat chicken. Simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately with white rice.
