- PREPARATION: In a small bowl, combine cubed chicken, 1 tsp. cornstarch, 1 Tbsp. soy sauce, 1/2 tsp. salt, egg white and ginger. Set aside for 20 to 30 min. On a platter, arrange prepared chiles, green pepper, onion, garlic and green onion. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine 1 tsp. cornstarch, wine, 2 Tbsp. soy sauce, sugar and vinegar. Set aside. Have peanuts, salt, water and oil at hand.
- METHOD: Heat wok and add in 1 Tbsp. oil. With a spatula, swirl oil around to coat sides of wok and heat till oil just begins to smoke. Add in garlic and stir-fry till golden, about 30 seconds. Add in green pepper and a healthy pinch of salt; stir-fry for 1 minute. Add in onion squares, another healthy pinch of salt and sprinkle 1 Tbsp. water down sides of wok. Continue to stir-fry till tender crisp, about 2 to 3 min. Remove from wok and set aside. To wok, add in 3 Tbsp. oil and heat till oil begins to smoke.
- Add in dry chile peppers and stir-fry till they turn dark brown. Remove chiles from oil and throw away. Add in chicken to wok, spreading it in a single layer, and stir-fry till all pink color disappears, about 2 to 3 min.
- Return vegetables to wok and stir-fry to combine. Make a well and add in wine mix, stir-frying to combine. Remove to serving platter and garnish with peanuts and green onion. Serve at once.
- This dish may be served with rice or possibly in Mandarin pancakes, like Mu Shu Pork.
- Serves 2 to 3 Amercian style, 4 to 6 Chinese style.
- *** To stir-fry almonds, cashews or possibly peanuts, heat 1 c. peanut oIl in wok to 375 degrees or possibly till a cube of bread dropped in oil rises to the surface and browns quickly. Add in blanched nuts and stir-fry just till light brown.
- (Be sure to keep heat at an even temperature, since nuts burn easily.)
- Remove nuts at once and drain on paper towel; salt nuts lightly and set aside.
- Note: This dish is spicy and pretty easy. Another name for it could be Stir-Fry Chicken with Chile Peppers. It's very tasty. I sometimes add in some slivers of carrots. You can reduce the amount of red peppers if you're not into heat.
