Chicken with Black Bean Sauce | Recipes & Food: Easy & Healthy Recipes, Beverages, Food Articles Online on Times Food

Stir-fries are not only delicious but also one of the easiest accompaniments to make with food. Some people also think that cooking stir-fries is a task for lazy cooks but we think that it is untrue and unfair to say so. The most important thing to keep in mind while cooking a stir fry is the proportion of the ingredients that go into it because that determines the whole taste of it. Plus, when you are accompanying it with rice or noodles, balancing the taste also becomes a task in making sure that nothing tastes bland. Black bean sauce or fermented black beans are a very strong flavour enhancer and give a tangy-sweet taste to anything that these are added to. In this recipe, we have first marinated the chicken and then cooked it. This process ensures that the chicken not only cooks properly but also retains as much flavour as possible in each bite. Another great thing about this recipe is that it is a super healthy dish to have and you do not have to worry much about the calories while indulging in something so delicious. Cook this yummy stir fry for your next meal and serve with noodles and rice.
