List of Ingredients




3 tablespoons peanut oil
3 dried red chiles, split lengthwise in half
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
3/4 cup roasted peanuts

Sauce

2 tablespoons chicken stock
2 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine, or dry sherry
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped garlic
2 teaspoons finely chopped scallions
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
2 teaspoons Chinese white rice vinegar or cider vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons sesame oil


Recipe



Heat a wok over high heat. Add the oil and chiles, stir-fry for a few seconds (you may remove the chiles when they turn black, or leave them in).

Next, add the chicken and peanuts, and stir-fry for 1 minute. Remove the chicken, peanuts and chiles from the wok and drain in a colander.

Put all the sauce ingredients, except the sesame oil, into the wok. Bring to a boil and then turn the heat down. Return the chicken, peanuts and chiles to the wok and cook for about 3-4 minutes in the sauce, mixing well.

Add the sesame oil. Give the mixture a good stir and remove the chiles, if you prefer; serve immediately.

Serves 4.
