We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Make marinade by mixing together the sugar, soy sauce and cornflour slurry.

  • Step 2: Cut chicken into thin strips and put into the marinade and mix well to coat and leave for 20 minutes. Use this time to cut up your onion and capsicum and mix your sauce ready to cook.

  • Step 3: In a small bowl, mix together the oyster sauce, sugar and water to make the sauce, set aside.

  • Step 4: Heat a large frying pan or a wok with 1 tablespoon oil over high heat and stir fry the garlic and black bean sauce until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes and then stir in the onion and cook until soft, about 3-4 minutes, then add the chicken and stir fry until the meat turns opaque about 4-5 minutes.

  • Step 5: Add the sauce mix you have set aside and allow to heat through, 1-2 minutes and then close the lid and simmer for 3 minutes.

  • Step 6: Stir in the capsicum and cook for 1-2 minutes and then add the cornflour slurry and stir until the sauce has thickened.

  • Step 7: Serve with rice or fried rice and steam vegetables if desired.
