1. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, rice wine or dry sherry, salt, sugar, sesame oil and cornflour together with the chicken.2. Heat a wok or large frying pan over high heat until it is hot. Add in the groundnut oil, and when it is very hot and slightly smoking, add in the chicken. Stir-fry for 2 minutes.
3. Add the ginger, garlic, shallots, 1½ tbsp of spring onions and black beans and stir-fry for 2 minutes.

I've made this 5 or 6 times now and the whole household loves it. Successful variations include using apple cider vinegar instead of rice wine, and fresh galangal instead of ginger. Each time we have served it with rice noodle salad:
