Day 36 of Movement Control Order 2.0

The Chinese believe that 三菜一汤 equates a nutritious and well-balanced meal. When there are only two diners, having 3 dishes and 1 soup is quite a feast. But tonight, I dished up 三菜一汤 .
Our 三菜一汤 dinner
The star of the show was the Chicken with Black Bean Sauce. The chicken pieces were marinated with soya sauce, dark soya sauce, black pepper and cornflour and put aside for 30 minutes. After soaking the black beans for 5 minutes, I mashed them a little. Pouring a little oil to the hot wok, I stir-fried chopped garlic and red chillies before adding the mashed black beans. It was so aromatic! The chicken pieces were then lowered into the wok and given a good toss. Water was then added and the chicken was allowed to simmer for about 30 minutes. I added some sugar to taste and swirled in some Shaoxing wine. After another 5 minutes, the Chicken with Black Bean Sauce was ready.
