[edit | edit source]- In small bowl, combine garlic, ginger root, chilies, scallion whites, and black beans.
- In another small bowl, combine ¼ cup stock, soy sauce, sugar, and sesame oil, and stir until sugar dissolves.
- In a third small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in wine or sherry.
- Scrub clams, if using, cut shellfish into 1-inch pieces or thinly slice poultry or meat.
- Just before serving, heat a wok over high heat.
- Swirl in canola oil.
- Stir-Fry onion and bell pepper for a minute then add garlic and bean mixture and cook for 15 seconds, or until fragrant but not brown.
- Add seafood and stir-fry for 1 minute.
- Add stock-based sauce and cook for 2 to 5 minutes, or until seafood is cooked; if necessary to prevent mixture from sticking to pan, add remaining stock. (If steaming clams, tightly cover wok.)
