This Sichaunese stir-fry dish is complex in flavor and yet simple to prepare at home. Traditionally, the dish uses dried Sichaun chillies, but we’ve simplified it by using capsicum peppers instead.

1 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tsp soy sauce
½ tsp sesame oil

1 tsp cornstarch

2 tbsp vegetable oil
2x2cm ginger, minced
1 clove garlic, minced
2, spring onions, cut into 2cm batons
½ cup peanuts (about 100g)
1 capscium, diced
For the chicken, combine the shaoxing, soy sauce, and cornstarch and allow to marinate for 1-2 hours.
For the sauce, combine all ingredients together in a mixing bowl and stir.
For the stir-fry, heat a large wok over medium heat. When it is almost smoking, add in the vegetable oil. Place the chicken into the pan and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes or until the outside of the chicken has change colour on all sides, and browned a little.
Add in the garlic and ginger paste, and stir-fry until fragrant for another 10-20 seconds, being careful not to burn the garlic.
