Convenient black-bean-and-garlic sauce turns this dish into a real family favourite. It's available at many large supermarkets and, of course, Chinese markets. Serve with blanched or steamed baby bok choy and rice or noodles.

Ingredients
Method
In large nonstick skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, about 10 minutes. Transfer to plate; pour off fat in pan.
Reduce heat to medium. Add chopped onion, coriander and ginger; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in black-bean-and-garlic sauce, rice wine (if using) and vinegar; cook for 1 minute. Add stock and 1/2 cup (125 mL) water; bring to boil. Return chicken to pan; reduce heat, cover and simmer, occasionally spooning sauce over chicken, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced, 20 to 25 minutes.
In small bowl, mix cornstarch with 1 tbsp (15 mL) water. Push chicken aside. Stir cornstarch mixture into sauce; boil until thickened, about 1 minute. Sprinkle with sesame oil and green onions.
