Instructions

  1. 1

    Mix together the soy sauce, rice wine, salt, sugar, sesame oil and cornflour in a large bowl. Add the chicken pieces and refrigerate for 1 hour. Drain and discard the marinade.

  2. 2

    Heat a wok or a large frying pan over a high heat until hot. Add the oil and when very hot, add the chicken and stir-fry for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned.

  3. 3

    Add the ginger, garlic, shallots, black beans and 1½ tablespoons of the spring onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add the stock, bring to the boil and then reduce the heat. Cover the wok or pan and simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked.
