“Black bean chicken is one of the delicious side dish you could ever make, Pair it with rice and you will enjoy it.”

Black Bean Chicken

Black Bean Chicken Stir Fry is a easy chicken recipe which can be made under 20 to 30 mins.

Diced chicken cooked in black bean sauce. Popular take out black bean chicken can be served with some hot rice. For the perfect side dish serve it with some fried rice.

Tips For The Perfect Stir-Fry

  • Prepare all your ingredients before starting. When making a stir-fry, things move quickly. Having your ingredients ready keeps things running smoothly.
  • Don’t be tempted to use soy sauce – fermented black beans are salty so before adding any soy sauce, it’s best to wait and add it after tasting..
  • Stir your stir fry often to keep things from sticking to your pan or wok.
  • Change things up by replacing the chicken with your favorite protein. I’ve made this recipe with lamb or shrimp. They were both delicious!

Black Bean Chicken

Black bean chicken has become my latest favorite dish. It has a umami taste from the black bean sauce added to it. I used the most popular black bean paste called lee kum kee brand.

The black beans paste is quite salty in its nature, so add it accordingly. Also addition of salt has to be added in caution. since the paste will be quite salty.

I enjoyed the taste of ginger in the  chicken, you could add garlic if you like it as well. Garlic would add nice flavour to the chicken.

  1. Prepare all your vegetables.
  2. Saute the vegetables.
