Charred Kung Pao Chicken in Black Bean Sauce

Method

1. Build a hot grill and oil the grates well.

2. Season the kung pao chicken with sesame oil and let it come up toward room temperature.

3. Grill over direct heat, turning once, until nicely charred and cooked to your liking.

4. Brush with fresh ginger in the last minutes so it glazes without burning.

5. Rest a few minutes, then finish with white pepper and a squeeze of acidity.
