Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Combine chicken with cornstarch and wine in a bowl. Cover, place in refrigerator and leave to marinate for one hour.
  2. Place 2 tbs oil and chiles in a cold wok and THEN turn the heat to low. Cook for about 1 1/2 minutes or until chiles begin to darken slightly. Using a slotted spoon, immediately remove chiles and drain on kitchen paper towel.
  3. Leaving the chile-infused oil in the wok, turn heat up to high and stir-fry half of the chicken cubes for 3 minutes.
  4. Remove with slotted spoon. Add the rest of the oil to the wok with the remaining chicken and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Return all chicken to wok, along with the ginger and reserved chiles and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
  5. Add sugar and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add peanuts, soy sauce and vinegar and stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Serve immediately with Szechuan salt and pepper.
