Peppery Szechuan Chicken

Provided by Amoy's consultant celebrity chef, Terry Tan, this is a variation of the imperial Drunken Chicken with a little less alcohol in the marinade.
This recipe serves 4 and needs 30 minutes preparation time and 10 minutes cooking time.

Ingredients:

4x150g

chicken breasts (sliced)

4

spring onion stalks (chopped)

2 tbsp

vegetable oil

100ml

water

250g

Amoy noodles

1 tbsp

ginger puree

Seasonings:

2 tbsp

Amoy Reduced Salt Soy Sauce

2 tbsp

Amoy Black Bean Sauce

100ml

Chinese wine or cooking sherry

1 tsp

black pepper

2 tsp

sugar

Method:

 Clean and pat dry chicken, then marinate the chicken strips in the seasoning mix for 30 minutes.

 Remove chicken from marinade and stir-fry in oil in a wok for 2 minutes.

 Add ginger puree and chopped onions and stir-fry on a high heat for 2 minutes.

 Combine water with remaining marinade and add to pan.

 Increasing the heat, stir-fry thoroughly for 1 minute or until chicken turns opaque.

 Blanch noodles in boiling water for 4 minutes, drain, rinse and serve with the chicken heaped on top.

 

Terry's Top Tip - you can use sirloin or rump beef to equally good effect. Prepare beef as you would chicken.
