Mix minced chicken with corn starch and let sit.
Heat cooking oil in wok or pan on low-medium heat. When ready, add garlic and shallots. Fry until fragrant, a few minutes.
Add chicken and turn heat to high. Spread around the pan and let brown on one side. Turn to let the other side brown and break up into pieces.
Turn heat back down to medium and make a space in the middle of the pan. Add the black bean sauce. Let warm, then stir through the chicken. Add peas and mix everything together.
Add sesame oil, soya sauce, shaoxing wine and dark soya sauce. Mix well and let cook a while longer until done.
Serve with steaming hot rice and garnish with spring onions.
