Ingredients
- 2 chiles (dried red)
- 200 gr chicken breast (boneless)
- 80 ml oil
- 20 ml dark soy sauce
- 7 ml sesame oil
- 6 gr orange peel
- 10 ml rice wine
- 4 gr citrus peel (dried)
- 4 gr sugar
- 3 gr cornstarch
- 2 gr ginger root (finely)
- 1 gr sichuan peppercorns (roasted)
- 1 gr salt
Cut the chicken breast into thin slices about 5 cm long, cutting against the grain.
Place chicken into a bowl with the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, ginger, cornstarch and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well, and then let the mixture marinate for about 20 minutes.
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 and leave to drain in a colander or sieve. Pour off most of the oil, leaving about 2 teaspoons.
Reheat the pan over a high heat and then add the dried chiles. Stir-fry them for 10 seconds, and then return the chicken to the pan.
Add the rest of the ingredients and stir-fry for 4 minutes, mixing well.
Serve the dish at once.
