Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken pieces with cornstarch, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine. Mix well and set aside to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sauce ingredients: Chinkiang vinegar, 2 tbsp light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, and ground Sichuan peppercorns. Set aside.
- Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and toss with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
- Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the wok and set aside.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the wok. Add the dried red chilies and stir-fry for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, followed by the chopped bell pepper and onion. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.
- Return the chicken to the wok. Pour the prepared sauce over everything and bring to a simmer. Allow the sauce to bubble and thicken for about 1 minute.
- Add the cooked noodles and roasted peanuts to the wok. Toss everything together until the noodles are well-coated and heated through. Serve immediately, garnished with sliced scallions.
Notes
For a milder version, use fewer dried red chilies or keep them whole.
Ensure all your ingredients are prepped before you start cooking, as the stir-frying process is very fast.
You can substitute chicken breast, but thighs will yield a more tender result.
