Ingredients

2 chicken breasts ((about 12 ounces/340g, cut into 1/8-inch thick slices))
3 tablespoons water
3 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon oil
2 teaspoons light soy sauce
3 tablespoons oil ((divided))
3 slices ginger ((julienned))
3 cloves garlic ((smashed and chopped))
3 scallions ((chopped and separated into white and green parts))
3 tablespoons fermented black beans ((washed and drained))
1 green bell pepper ((cut into bite-sized pieces))
1 red bell pepper ((cut into bite-sized pieces))
½ teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine
¼ teaspoon salt ((or to taste))
2 tablespoons water

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, EGGPLANT, AND GREEN BEANS CASSEROLE

Chicken, Eggplant, and Green Beans Casserole image

This was one of the very first casseroles I made for my family. It was originally a green bean casserole recipe, but since I wanted this to be an (almost) all-in-one dish I added the ground chicken and eggplant. I also added more spices. My 2-year-old twins loved it and so did my hubby! It's a hearty dish that we usually eat with brown rice and/or crusty bread. It's also good served with a side of fresh and crisp green salad with tangy dressing. This casserole may be too mushy for some people. If you don't want it to turn out that way, you can substitute the ground chicken with 1 1/2 to 2 cups of cooked and cubed boneless, skinless chicken breast.

Eggplant and Peppers in Black Bean Garlic Sauce image

Delicious! :) Makes 4 servings as a main dish. It can easily serve 6-8 if you add fried or extra firm tofu, slices of chicken breast, or white fish, and it's delicious that way, too. I've also added sliced cabbage to the vegetables.

Chinese Eggplants (Aubergine) With Black Bean Sauce image

I love eggplants, but allergic to all seeds, peanuts and nuts. I cannot use commercially available hoisin sauce because it has sesame oil. I cannot make hoisin sauce because it has peanut butter, so I came up with this dish tonight to satisfy my craving for Chinese eggplants.

Ingredients

2 large eggplants, cut into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup rich fowl glaze (see recipe)
2 tablespoons minced fermented black beans (available in some Asian markets)
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Heat the glaze in a medium-size saucepan. Whisk in the black beans, oyster sauce and pepper. Cook until the sauce is reduced to 1/2 cup.

Broil about 1 minute. Divide the eggplant among 4 plates and top with any remaining sauce. Sprinkle with scallions and serve immediately.
