Recipe
1
Cut 500 grams of boneless chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate with 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and a pinch of salt for 20 minutes.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup of unsalted, roasted peanuts and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove the peanuts and set aside.
3
In the same wok, add 1 tablespoon of oil and stir-fry 8-10 dried red chilies and 1 teaspoon of Sichuan peppercorns for 30 seconds until fragrant.
4
Add the marinated chicken pieces to the wok and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until cooked through.
5
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of cornstarch to make the sauce.
6
Pour the sauce into the wok and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the chicken is well-coated and the sauce thickens.
7
Add the roasted peanuts and 1/4 cup of chopped spring onions to the wok. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes to combine all the ingredients.
8
Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
