Chicken In Szechuan Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Place the chicken and cornstarch into a bag or bowl, and toss to coat. Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken pieces and garlic, stirring constantly until lightly browned. Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and water. Cover, and cook until the chicken pieces are no longer pink inside, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in the green onion, and cayenne pepper, cook uncovered for about 2 more minutes. Serve over white rice.

Steps:

• With knife held in slanting position, almost parallel to cutting surface, cut each chicken breast half crosswise into 1/2-inch thick slices.
• In medium bowl, combine soy sauce, sherry, cornstarch, ginger, sugar, and crushed red pepper; add chicken, tossing to coat.
• In wok or large non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat until very hot.
• Add green onions and red and green peppers and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are tender-crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.
• With slotted spoon transfer vegetables to bowl.
• Increase heat to high and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet; heat until very hot.
• Add chicken mixture and stir-fry until chicken looses its pink color throughout, 2 to 3 minutes. (I suggest cutting one of the larger pieces to make sure it is cooked through.).
• Return vegetables to pan; heat through.
• To serve, transfer chicken and vegetables to warm platter and sprinkle with peanuts.
