Instructions
1
Fry and toss(20 min)
Marinate chicken in soy. Coat in cornstarch, deep-fry 5 min until crispy and golden. In a clean wok, fry dried chilies and Sichuan pepper 30 sec. Toss with chicken. The key: there should be MORE chilies than chicken — you pick the chicken out of the chili pile.
Pro Tips for Western Kitchens
Yes, 80g of dried chilies. No, you don't eat them. They're for fragrance and presentation. Pick out the chicken with chopsticks.
