Black Bean Drumsticks
Serve this for dinner with Confetti Pepper Rice, but save two drumsticks for your child's lunch the next day. Black beans and garlic sauce is a Chinese convenience item available at most grocery stores. Made of seasoned fermented black beans, its sharp and salty flavour seems universally appreciated by children.

1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
8 skinless chicken drumsticks
1 small onion, chopped
2 tsp (10 mL) grated gingerroot
1/3 cup (75 mL) chicken stock
1 tbsp (15 mL) cornstarch
3 tbsp (50 mL) black-bean-and-garlic sauce
2 tsp (10 mL) sesame oil
1/2 tsp (2 mL) granulated sugar
1 tbsp (15 mL) sesame seeds, toasted
Preparation:
In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown drumsticks. Transfer to plate.
Drain off any fat in pan. Fry onion and ginger over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
Return chicken and any accumulated juices to pan. Add chicken stock and 2/3 cup (150 mL) water; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until juices run clear when chicken is pierced.

Additional Information
-
Tip: Reserve two drumsticks to pack in your child's lunch. Many children are fans of cold chicken, but if yours isn?t, heat it up and wrap to send in a insulated lunchbox. Add a whole wheat bun, fruit, yogurt and perhaps a cookie or two.
