Chicken Wings With Black Bean Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN WITH BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the chicken and the marinade ingredients in a bowl, and mix until all the liquid is absorbed. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Pre-heat your wok over high heat, until it starts to smoke. This step is essential, as it prevents the chicken from sticking to the wok. With your spatula, spread 2 tablespoons of oil over the bottom of the wok. Add the chicken, and quickly spread the pieces into a single layer. Let the chicken cook for about 30 seconds, flip, and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. The chicken is done once it turns opaque--be careful not to overcook it. Turn off the heat, transfer the chicken to a dish, and set aside.
• Next, heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the wok over medium heat. Add the ginger, and let it cook for 15 seconds. Next, add the garlic, the white parts of the scallions, and the black beans. Stir for another 30 seconds. Now turn up the heat to high. Add the green and red peppers, and stir fry for about a minute. Add the sugar, Shaoxing wine, salt, the chicken, 2 tablespoons of water, and the green parts of the scallion. Quickly stir-fry everything well to coat in the sauce, and serve!

CHICKEN WINGS WITH BLACK-BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat chicken wings dry, cut off and discard tips with a large heavy knife, and halve wings at joint.
• Stir together broth, soy sauce, cornstarch, and sugar in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water evaporates instantly. Pour in oil and swirl around side of wok to coat. Add chicken wings and pinch of salt and stir-fry, letting wings sit 5 to 10 seconds between stirs, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add black beans, garlic, ginger, and red-pepper flakes and stir-fry 1 minute. Stir broth mixture, then add to wok, stirring to coat wings. Bring sauce to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until wings are tender, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a shallow serving dish.

BRAISED CHICKEN WINGS IN BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Set a wok or a large pan over high heat. When the pan is hot, after about 1 minute, add the oil and rotate the pan to spread. When the oil is hot, add the chicken-wing sections and stir occasionally until lightly browned all over, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic; cook until soft, about 15 seconds. Add 1 1/2 cups water, the bean sauce, soy sauce, sugar and pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer, turning occasionally, until the meat is tender when pierced, 35 to 45 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, lift out the wings and place on a serving dish; cover to keep warm. Skim off and discard the fat from the pan juices. Measure the juices. If more than about 1 cup, boil, uncovered, over high heat until reduced to that amount. If less than about 1 cup, add water to make that amount and bring to a boil. Pour the pan juices over the wings, and garnish with the cilantro.

CHICKEN IN GARLIC AND BLACK BEAN SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water together in a bowl. Stir in soy sauce, sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Add chicken; toss to combine. Let stand to marinate, about 20 minutes.
• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Add bean sprouts; cook just until blanched, about 30 seconds; drain.
• Combine 1/4 cup water, oyster sauce, and sugar together in a small bowl.
• Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over high heat. Add black bean sauce and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cook and stir until soft, 3 to 4 minutes. Add marinated chicken; stir-fry until opaque and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in oyster sauce mixture; cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Cover and simmer until flavors blend, about 3 minutes. Stir in bell pepper; cover and cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Dissolve 2 teaspoons cornstarch in 1 tablespoon water. Stir in bean sprouts and cornstarch mixture; cook until sauce is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes more.
