Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Rinse the chicken pieces under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces if not already done.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Dice the potatoes, slice the bell peppers, onion, and mince the garlic and ginger.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large skillet or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of chili oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  2. 4

    Cook Chicken

    Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

  3. 5

    Add Vegetables

    Add diced potatoes, bell peppers, and sliced onion to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 6

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and Szechuan peppercorns.

  5. 7

    Combine Everything

    Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything evenly. Let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes to meld the flavors together.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
