Orange Chicken With Red Chilies, Szechuan Style -- Dave Dewitt Recipe
Posted by
Directions:
- Combine the ingredients for the marinade in a bowl large enough to hold the chicken, stir the liquid ingredients well, and then add the chicken.
- Leave the chicken in the marinade for 30 minutes.
- Take the dried orange peel, soak it in hot water for 30 minutes, then shred it.
- Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl, stir well, and set aside.
- Heat the wok over high heat. Add the oil (must be an oil with high smoking point - peanut, corn or canola are all good; don't use olive oil), swirl it around to coat the wok cooking surface.
- When the oil just begins to smoke, add the chilies and the marinated chicken.
- Stir fry for about 1 minute, until the chicken begins to take on color.
- Add the sauce and stir fry for another 30-45 seconds.
- Remove the chilies before serving, or tell your guests not to eat them!
- Serve over steamed rice or a pilaf.
- Heat scale depends entirely on the peppers, but should be medium for authenticity.
- Notes on special ingredients:.
- If you can't get Szechuan peppercorns, you can substitute bird of paradise peppercorns. Szechuan peppercorns are NOT truly members of the pepper family (they are in the citrus family), so do NOT substitute with black peppercorns.
- Hot bean sauce is available in Chinese markets. The most authentic and best quality is made with broad beans, but soy bean paste is an acceptable alternative.
- Do not use habanero or tsin-tsin chiles - they will overpower the other flavors in the dish.
