Spicy Chicken in Black Bean Sauce
Ingredients
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 lb chicken breast, diced
1 tablespoon yellow rice wine (preferably Shaoxing)
2 leeks, white parts thinly sliced
1 piece ginger, minced
1/4 teaspoon hot chili oil
2 tablespoons fermented black beans, rinsed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon white rice vinegar
White rice for serving
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.
