1. 1

   Marinating: With sharp paring knife, scrape chicken meat from thigh; slice into thin strips across the grain. (Breast meat is not preferred for this dish, as meat is too dry and spongy.) Combine sherry, soy, cornstarch and sugar in bowl; massage liquid into meat with your fingers.

2. 2

   Marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Rinse fermented black beans.

4. 4

   In bowl, combine and mash black beans and garlic, brown sugar, black soy sauce and chicken stock; stir; reserve for 15 minutes.

5. 5

   Stir-Frying: Add 2/3 of oil to hot wok; when oil is very hot, add chicken.

6. 6

   Stir-fry for about 3 minutes on high heat - or until chicken begins to shrink and firm up.

7. 7

   Remove chicken to holding bowl.

8. 8

   Reheat wok to high, add remaining oil. When oil is hot, add black bean sauce. Stir-fry for 1 minute.

10. 10
