GONG BAO CHICKEN

Also see article: Sichuan
 

Ingredients

• 1½ tablespoons cornstarch
• 1½ tablespoons rice wine
• 1 lb. chicken breast meat diced into half inch cubes
• Salt as needed
• Vegetable oil as needed
• 6 dried chile peppers, (more or less to taste)
• 1 packet Gong Bao seasoning mix
• 1/4 chopped peanuts (optional)
• Cooked white Asian rice as needed
 

Directions

Whisk the cornstarch and rice wine in a bowl. Mixing a starch with a liquid is called a slurry. This facilitates the dissolving of the cornstarch and will inhibit clumping.

Next, season the chicken with some salt.
Mix the chicken and the slurry and allow it to marinate for a few minutes.

Meanwhile, heat up the vegetable oil in a skillet and add the chiles.
Sauté for a few minutes until the chiles become fragrant.

Add the chicken and sauté until almost done.

Add the seasoning packet and the peanuts.
Cook for a minute or two more.

Taste and add additional salt if necessary.

Pour over a portion of white rice and serve.
