Chicken in black bean sauce

Don’t we all love Chinese food simply because of its unique mouthwatering flavours and the most uncomplicated techniques of making them? It’s just a matter of chopping all and dropping all into a pan and give a quick toss and a turn, pour in sauces and, voila! job done! It is that easy and the taste is supreme too.

The generous amount of vegetables used in this recipe make it much healthier and versatile. While stirfrying the veggies I tried my best to keep their original colours intact which in turn made this dish look absolutely delightful with such an exotic assortment of colours blended together!

I bet, you will stop buying this dish from take-a-ways once you start making it at home because the homemade chicken in black bean sauce with all the colourful and crunchy veggies will become an instant favourite of your family and friends. There are many brands of black bean sauce available in supermarkets but I have always been loyal to the Blue Dragon brand which has the right balance of flavours and the right thickness to the sauce. Also, Amoy brand soy sauce goes just so well with it.

So, let’s get on with making this glorious dish!

Exotic Tomato pickle - inspired by Nepalese cuisine

This is indeed a seasonal delight! At the start of the Spring season when the cherry tomatoes are in abundance, is the best time to make this pickle! The speciality of this pickle is that it has no vinegar or a great volume of unhealthy oils.   It’s just natural and simple as it can be!  I am sure that you will love looking at your home-made tomato pickle jar as it sits prettily on your window sill, bathing in the warm glow of Spring sunshine! Once, the pickle is made, you must place the jar under sunlight for a couple of days. This will allow the tomatoes to wilt naturally and ferment with the juices and mustard oil. You need only a few ingredients as follows; Ripped juicy cherry tomatoes 8 Peeled garlic cloves 5 Green chilies slit in the middle 4 Chili powder 1/2 tsp Mustard powder 1/2 tsp Salt 1/4 tsp Turmeric 1/4 tsp Let’s make it: First, prepare the glass jar by washing it thoroughly and wipe until dry.
