Ingredients
- 2 chilies (dried red)
- 2 long (inches)
- 3/4 lb chicken breast (boneless)
- 3/8 c peanut oil
- 4 ts dark soy sauce
- 2 1/2 ts sesame oil
- 1 tb coarsely orange peel (chopped fresh)
- 2 ts rice wine
- 2 ts soaked
- 1 ts sugar
- 1 ts cornstarch
- 1 ts ginger root (finely chopped)
- 1/2 ts sichun peppercorns (finely ground roasted)

Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet until it is very hot. Remove the chicken from the marinade with a slotted spoon. Add it to the pan and stir-fry it for 2 minutes until it browns. Remove it and leave to drain in a colander or sieve. Pour off most of the oil, leaving about 2 ts. Reheat the pan over a high heat and add the dried chilies. Stir-fry them for 10 seconds, then return the chicken to the pan. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir-fry for 4 minutes, mixing well. Serve immediately over white rice.
