Szechwan Type Chicken

The recipe is from this book.

 

4 chicken breasts

2 tbs soy sauce

1 tbs dry sherry

2 tbs corn starch

6 dried red peppers

 

Sauce

2 tbs sherry

2 tbs soy sauce

2 tbs brown sugar

1 tbs sesame oil

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbs water

1 tbs corn starch

3 tbs peanut oil

 

chopped green onions

chopped roasted peanuts

 

Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate in the soy sauce, sherry, and corn starch.

 

Combine the ingredients for the sauce and set aside.

 

Place some oil in a hot pan and add the dried peppers. Cook for about 15 seconds and then add the chicken with the marinade. Cook over high heat, stirring constantly for 10 minutes.

 

Add the sauce mixture and cook until it thickens. Top with the green onions and peanuts.

 

We used red wine instead of sherry and fresh peppers in place of the dried. Very good and some good heat as well.

 

Served over some Soba noodles.
