This is my version of a Chinese dish that I had in Chinatown in Yokohama. I don't know if this is really a Chinese recipe, but it is quite tasty.

I'll definitely be trying this one, looks yum and one-pot dishes are my thing!
What is white bean sauce? If I can't get it here what would be a good substitute?


Yellow bean sauce is fermented yellow soybeans. It has a rich salty-sweet flavor. You can get it in Asian shops and some large grocery stores. It gives a wonderful flavor to food. Thank you for your comment! There is no substitute for it unfortunateyl. However, another sauce possibility would be 3 Tbsp light soy sauce and 1 Tbsp sugar with the sesame oil as above. The flavor is very different, but GOOD!


This sounds fabuous. I'm also going to give it a try. Great post. You have my 5.


Good Heavens, this sounds wonderful. I have a favorite Chinese grocer down the street from work, I'll stop in and get all the supplies for next week's supper. I'm always on the look out for chicken recipes.


Joe, this sounds great... will be trying this this week!
Thanks for the post

How have I missed your posts? This sounds so delicious - must try this one soon...preparing it at home is so much fresher - I'll have to look for that yellow bean sauce at our area Asian market. Thanks!


Hey Joe,
What a great sounding chicken recipe! I love chicken anyhow because you can flavor it so many ways and it's way better for you than beef.
I live in an area of Southern CA that is highly Vietnamese and Korean so I'm sure I can find the things for this dish, no sweat.
Thanks for sharing!

Hello Joe, this is a smashing recipe - we have great Chinese supermarkets here in Glasgow so I think I can get hold of the ingredients all right. I'm sending a friend invitation, would you do me the honour of accepting?
Thanks
