is hot, add 2 T of the oil. When oil begins to heat, add garlic, ginger,
and black beans. Stir once, then add chicken and stir-fry until chicken is
opaque (about 3 minutes). Remove chicken from pan.
Add the remaining 1 T oil to pan. When oil is hot, add green pepper,

for 1 1/2 minutes. Return chicken to pan. Stir cooking sauce, add to pan,
and cook, stirring, until sauce bubbles and thickens.

little bowl of hot pepper & black bean sauce (recipe follows).
