Notes:
Here are some TIPS for making simple Chinese black pepper chicken:- Use a non-stick pan or a non-stick wok to PREVENT burning and ingredients sticking to pan.
- If you are fond of vegetables, add some FRESH broccoli or celery to this recipe towards the end and cook for about 3-4 minutes. DON�T cook for too long or you will end up with soft and limp veggies.
- I highly RECOMMEND sesame oil since it adds a lot of flavor to the recipe but olive oil, corn oil or canola oil can be used too.
- You can use the ingredients in this recipe to marinate chicken wings and thighs and make black pepper grilled chicken.
- ADJUST the amount of black pepper and red chili flakes, based on your taste preference.
- DON�T cook for too long and reduce all the water since that will dry up the chicken. You want to have some gravy covering the chicken and keeping it moist.
- Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
