This is the sauce component I use for various Black Bean Sauce stir fries. Whether with chicken or just a variety of vegetables, this has worked well for me a number of times. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
2 tablespoons water |
1/3 cup chicken broth |
2 tablespoons dry sherry or 2 tablespoons red wine |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 tablespoon black bean paste |
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil |
Directions:
1. First stir fry the main ingredients you want (chicken, vegetables, etc). Set aside.
2. Mix all the sauce ingredients.
3. Pour in the bottom of the wok and stir constantly over high heat.
4. Once it thickens, add back the stir fry ingredients and mix to coat. You can add a little extra water or soy sauce if it is too thick or you want to stretch it a little, based on how much stir fry you are making.
5. The amounts shown here are generally enough when I'm making a main course stir fry to serve 2-3 people. Double as needed.
