This dish is equally delicious prepared with turkey, seafood, beef, or pork. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons soy sauce |
2 tablespoons minced garlic |
1 teaspoon asian sesame oil |
2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (about 3/4 pound total) |
1 red onion |
1 large red bell pepper |
1/2 pound snow peas |
3 tablespoons fermented black beans |
2 1/2 tablespoons corn or safflower oil |
1 tablespoon chicken broth |
3 tablespoons soy sauce |
1 1/2 tablespoons chinese rice wine or sake |
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar |
5 cups chilled chinese-style white or brown rice |
2 tablespoons minced garlic |
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh gingerroot |
Directions:
1. Make marinade: In a small bowl stir together marinade ingredients. Add chicken to marinade, turning it to coat. Marinate chicken at room temperature while preparing vegetables. Cut onion and bell pepper into 1/4-inch dice. Trim snow peas and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices. Rinse black beans and mince.
2. Remove chicken from marinade and pat dry. Discard marinade. In a heavy non-stick skillet heat 1/2 tablespoon corn or safflower oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté chicken until browned on bottom, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken over and cook over moderate heat 6 minutes, or until just cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate and cool completely. Recipe may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and ingredients chilled separately in sealable plastic bags.
3. Cut chicken into 1/2-inch cubes.
4. Make seasoning liquid: In a small bowl stir together seasoning liquid ingredients.
5. Spread rice in a shallow baking pan and separate grains with a fork.
6. In a deep 12-inch heavy non-stick skillet heat remaining 2 tablespoons corn or safflower oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and stir-fry black beans, garlic, and gingerroot 20 seconds, or until fragrant. Add onion and bell pepper and stir-fry 2 minutes. Add snow peas, chicken, and rice and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until heated through. Stir seasoning liquid and add to fried rice, tossing to coat evenly.
