Not only because it\u2019s so easy to put together and delicious, but also because it is loaded with healthy lean protein and colorful veggies that make it perfect as a one-pot meal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making restaurant stir fry might look challenging at first glance, but once you\u2019ve followed a solid recipe once, you\u2019ll understand the workflow and the whole process will become way less intimidating. Plus, once you\u2019ve tasted how great a homemade stir fry is, you\u2019ll prefer it over takeout. The homemade version also contains less oil, sugar, and sodium, which is better for your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_4.jpg\" alt=\"Black pepper chicken served in plates with rice on the side\" class=\"wp-image-31280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_4.jpg 800w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_4-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_4-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_4-270x405.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 40px), 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_6.jpg\" alt=\"Chinese restaurant style black pepper chicken served on a plate close up\" class=\"wp-image-31282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_6.jpg 800w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_6-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_6-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_6-270x405.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 40px), 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-black-pepper-chicken-ingredients\">Black pepper chicken ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For black pepper chicken, you probably already have most of the ingredients in your pantry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure you cut the ingredients, prepare the sauce, and marinate the chicken before you start cooking.

The key for tender juicy chicken<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No matter whether you use chicken breasts or thighs, if you follow this procedure you will get super tender chicken just like you\u2019d get at a Chinese restaurant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Always cut the meat against the grain. Try to maintain the same thickness and size for each slice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always marinate the chicken. The whole process will help soften the chicken and create a rich flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the chicken sear for 30 seconds before stirring it. If you try to stir the chicken immediately, you\u2019ll find it stuck to the pan due to the cornstarch in the recipe. If you let the chicken cook for a bit before moving it, the meat will come out well-seared without being torn apart.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-why-you-need-to-remove-the-chicken-once\">2. Why you need to remove the chicken once<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Transferring the half-cooked chicken to a plate before adding the rest of the ingredients is crucial for two reasons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When you add the sauce and veggies, the pan temperature will drop significantly. If you don\u2019t take the chicken out beforehand, the veggies won\u2019t be seared properly, and the sauce will reduce very slowly. Both result in a soupy dish with steamed ingredients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The chicken is slightly underdone when you remove it, and is just cooked through once added back. If you leave the chicken in the skillet the whole time, by the time that the veggies are cooked, the chicken will be way overdone &#8211; dry and chewy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-get-used-to-the-pace-of-stir-frying\">3. Get used to the pace of stir frying<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I found that Chinese stir frying has a much faster pace than most Western cooking. When I start cooking a dish, it takes me about 5 minutes (or maybe less) to finish. This means you have less than a minute between adding ingredients. So do read through the recipe before cooking, and move quickly once you start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-black-pepper-chicken\">How to make black pepper chicken<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Spread out the chicken in a heated large skillet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once the surface of the chicken is lightly charred but the inside is still pink, remove from the pan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the aromatics and saute gently<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir fry the vegetables<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pour in the black pepper sauce and cook until it thickens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add back the chicken and stir everything together<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"806\" height=\"806\" src=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_7.jpg\" alt=\"Black Pepper Chicken Process\" class=\"wp-image-31283\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_7.jpg 806w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_7-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_7-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_7-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_7-270x270.jpg 270w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_7-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_7-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_7-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_7-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 40px), 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_3.jpg\" alt=\"Chinese restaurant style black pepper chicken in a wok close up\" class=\"wp-image-31279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_3.jpg 800w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_3-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/220530_Black-Pepper-Chicken_3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) calc(100vw - 40px), 728px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it! The chicken is tender and juicy and the vegetables crisp with vibrant colors. You can serve it by itself or over steamed rice. For a healthier meal, try to use steamed brown rice. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, or in the freezer for a month or two. I hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-chinese-takeout-recipes\">More Chinese takeout recipes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/chinese-curry-chicken\/\">Chinese Curry Chicken<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/chinese-beef-and-broccoli\/\">Chinese Beef and Broccoli (\u725b\u8089\u7092\u897f\u5170\u82b1)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/sweet-and-sour-tofu\/\">Sweet and Sour Tofu (\u7cd6\u918b\u8c46\u8150)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/shrimp-and-broccoli\/\">Easy Shrimp and Broccoli<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/omnivorescookbook.com\/easy-mongolian-meatballs\/\">Easy Mongolian Meatballs<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"contentbox contentbox-beige mainsection notop nobot\">\r\n    <h2 data-toc-skip>Chinese Cooking Made Easy<\/h2><p>Are you new to this website?
