Quick Sichuanese Stir-fry

It was a somewhat improvised recipe that I’m nonetheless happy to record. The general vibe was ‘Siennese’ and ‘quick’. From end to end, it took me as much time as it took to cook the pasta.

Quick Sichuanese Stir-Fry

Ingredients:

  • 250-300 grams boneless chicken pieces, preferably thighs
  • 2 tablspoons chopped ginger
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 1-2 tablespoons of sichuanese bean paste
  • half of large cucumber or one small, sliced
  • one bell pepper, sliced
  • one small onions or two big french shallots, sliced
  • 2 tablspoons dark soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons rice flour
  • 2 teaspoons sinchanese peppercorns, crushed
  • oil
  • sesame oil (optional)

Method:

  • heat oil and fry briefly the ginger and garlic and sichaunese bean paste
  • once fragrant, add the vegetables, and shortly after the chicken
  • fry and halfway through being cooked, add the sichuanese peppercorns
  • mix both soy sauces and rice flour and add to the pan, cook until they thicken and cover the ingredients
  • serve, best with rice although in this case I used wheat noodles as I wanted to clear the pantry. Optionally season with a bit of sesame oil
