Chengdu Chicken (Szechwan Style)

 

 

 

A typical Szechwan dish, named after the capital of the province.

Serves 2 by itself, or 3 ~ 4 as part of a multi-course meal
preparation Time: 30 minutes


Ingredients:

1/2 lb chicken breasts, boned

Marinade:
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 teaspoon cooking wine (or sherry)
2 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons tapioca starch (or
cornstarch)
4 tablespoons oil
1/2 bunch spinach
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
1 tablespoon chopped ginger
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 tablespoon hot bean sauce

Sauce:
1 teaspoon cooking wine (or sherry)
1 teaspoon light soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon vinegar (red wine or rice vinegar)

1 1/2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon
cornstarch (corn flour)

1/2 teaspoon freshly-ground Szechwan pepper

 

Directions:

Remove fat from chicken. Cut first into strips, then cubes.


Mix together marinade ingredients. Marinate chicken for twenty minutes.
While chicken is marinading, prepare vegetables. Peel skin off ginger, cut into thin slices, and mince. Peel and cut garlic into strips (whack it first with the cleaver to make it easier to peel). Chop green onion two to three times into fine pieces.


Heat wok. When wok is hot, add oil. Add spinach, and sprinkle a bit of salt on top. As soon as spinach wilts, remove and set aside.


Mix together sauce ingredients. Set aside. Mix
cornstarch and water. Set aside.


Heat wok again and add three tablespoons oil. Put in chicken cubes and stir-fry, stirring continually to keep the chicken from sticking.


When the chicken is approximately 80 percent cooked, move it to the side of the wok. Add the ginger, garlic, and green onion in the middle of the wok.


Mix in the hot bean sauce. Stir the sauce mixture and mix in. Stir the
cornstarch and water mixture and mix in.


Serve over spinach and sprinkle with ground szechuan pepper.
