Szechuan Hot Pepper Chicken Cubes November 12, 2008

This recipe came from good friend Peggy Thern of long gone “Paradise Garden” on Kalakaua by Holiday Mart back in the deep seventies. Oh god was that ever a great restraunt.  She published the recipe somewhere – I can’t begin to bring back the original but here it is…

1. chicken breast – diced
2. 1 egg slightly beaten
3. 2 t corn starch 
4. 1 t sherry
5. 2 T shoyu
6. 1 large green bell pepper – diced
7. 1 hot chili pepper coarse ground
8. 1/c roasted unsalted peanuts

mix 1-4 above and marinate 15 minutes or more.

Stir fry chicken and shoyu until tender.  Don’t overcook the chicken.  Add the rest and stir fry for 1 minute.  Remove from heat and serve.
