SZECHUAN SKILLET CHICKEN
My whole family loves this Szechuan chicken. My husband prefers it without peppers, but he is happy to let others have his! I use the ginger paste that comes in a tube and pre-shredded carrots to save time. -Christine Snyder, Boulder, Colorado

SZECHUAN CHICKEN WITH CASHEW NUTS
Typically Chinese in origin, this dish has also been served as Thai and Singaporean fare in a lot of restaurants worldwide. A lot or recipes online produce a pale-looking and bland finished product. This recipe is restaurant-grade. The secret is the hoisin sauce, which adds seasoning and a certain degree of sweetness to the dish. There are two different varieties of chili peppers used- the traditional hot pepper, which introduces the spicy Schezuan character of the dish, and the long, dried, semi-spicy, semi-sweet pepper (sorry about the description, but do not confuse this with green pepper), which adds spice and some sweetness. The chicken is fried with the skin to add flavor, and is cooked independently . This retains the crunchiness of the chicken pieces even after cooking.

SZECHUAN CHICKEN
Why go out for Chinese food when it is this easy? Serve with rice or Asian noodles. To slice the chicken thin, freeze for 20 minutes or so first or if you are using chicken from the freezer, slice before it is completely thawed. It isn't as hot as you would expect from "Szechuan"--if you want it spicy hot--add more crushed red chilies.

- Mix the chicken, 3 tablespoons water, 2 teaspoons oyster sauce, and ⅛ teaspoon white pepper. Set aside for 5 to 10 minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed by the chicken. Adding the extra water will really keep your chicken moist and tender. Lastly, mix in 1 teaspoon canola oil and 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and set aside.
- Heat your wok over high heat. Spread 2 tablespoons canola oil along the perimeter of the wok until just smoking.
- Add the marinated chicken breast, spreading the pieces evenly in the wok. Fry for 1 minute on each side, and transfer back to the bowl. The chicken should be browned on the outside and will be about 80% cooked.

- Cut and marinate the chicken. The most popular method used by the locals is to cut the skin-on, bone-in chicken into cubes between half to one inch. However, since I choose not to have bones, I use boneless chicken thighs as it is more convenient to enjoy it without bones.
- Fry the chicken twice. The chicken is crispier if you fry it twice. Start with low temperature and fry again with high temperature. Add two large tablespoons of cornstarch to coat the chicken before deep-frying.
- Dried chilies. Spicy Szechuan chicken required plenty of dried chilies to cook. Dried chilies are often used instead of fresh chili, as the flavor is more intense and does not have any raw taste.
- Groundnuts. This Szechuan chicken recipe also requires some groundnuts. However, you may substitute it with cashew. I use groundnuts which are the most common ingredients in China.
- Szechuan peppercorns. There are two types of Szechuan peppercorns, green and red. The green one is more suitable for making soup dishes slightly numbing.
- Other ingredients for the spicy Szechuan chicken. Other ingredients required are doubanjiang (chili bean paste), douchi (fermented black soybean paste), chili oil, ginger, garlic, and scallion.
- Put it all together. Now let’s put everything together in the wok, which will take a few minutes to complete the Szechuan spicy chicken. Here are the steps
