Dinnah!! Longs beans with spicy bean sauce, honey garlic chicken and egg tofu!

From Honey Garlic Chicken


Any good chicken dish starts with a good marinade. Begin by marinating your chicken in chinese rice wine vinegar, thick soy sauce, sesame oil and black pepper for a minimum of 20 minutes (a few hours is best). The vinegar will help break down the meat and tenderize it.

Side dishes are best left simple but flavorful. First we have some long beans with spicy black bean sauce. Very, very easy, throw some sesame oil on the wok, throw in the long beans and the sauce and stir fry it.

Next with the egg tofu, same approach but a little more dressed up. Start stir frying some shallots at a medium heat until they are cooked, once they are starting to crisp up throw in the minced garlic. Once the garlic is cooked and the shallots crispy, remove them from the wok. Now throw in the tofu with some sesame oil. After the tofu starts to crisp up throw in some scallions. Once the tofu is crispy on both sides, remove from the stove, top with the shallots and garlic and add soy sauce to taste.




Finally, cut your chicken (against the grain) into thin strips so that they cook quickly. Toss them into the wok with some onion (we used red onion for a change and the flavors went well together), and a little vegetable oil. At this point we added the honey garlic sauce and stir fry at a higher temperature. That's dinner :).
