STIR-FRY CHICKEN SALAD WITH SZECHUAN NOODLES
Steps:
- Heat 1 to 2 Tbs. peanut oil over medium-high heat in wok or heavy large skillet until very hot but not smoking. Add chicken and stir-fry just until opaque, about 3 minutes. Set aside. Bring large amount of salted water to rapid boil over high heat. Add noodles and cook until firm but tender (al dente). Drain well. Transfer to large bowl. Add 1 Tbs. peanut oil and toss gently to coat. Broil peppers 6 inches from heat source, turning occasionally, until all sides are blackened. Transfer peppers to paper bag and seal tightly. Set aside 10 minutes to steam. Slip charred skins off peppers and discard. Cut out stem to remove any remaining seeds and pat dry. Cut into 1/4 inch julienne. Combine onion, vinegar, red chili oil, sesame oil, sugar, salt, Szechuan peppercorns and freshly gorund pepper in medium bowl. Heat remaining 3 Tbs. of peanut oil in small saucepan until very hot but not smoking. Pour hot oil over onion mixture in thin steady stream, stirring constantly. Set aside for 15 minutes (hot oil will release flavor of spices). Reserve some of red pepper for garnish; add remaining red pepper to noodles. Add green onion mixture and chicken and toss gently using fork or chopsticks. Arrange reserved red pepper strips over top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature. Adjust seasoning and serve. Makes 6 servings.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Chop and prep all your ingredients before you start cooking to ensure a smooth and efficient stir-frying process.
- Use a Large Pan or Wok: This will allow you to toss and stir the ingredients easily without overcrowding the pan.
- High Heat: Stir-frying requires high heat to create that characteristic slightly charred and smoky flavor. Use a well-seasoned pan or wok that can withstand high temperatures.
- Stir Constantly: This prevents the ingredients from sticking to the pan and ensures even cooking.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan, which can result in steamed rather than stir-fried ingredients.
- Add Sauce Gradually: Start with a small amount of sauce and adjust to taste. Too much sauce can make the stir-fry soggy.
- Serve Immediately: Stir-fries are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan. Serve over rice, noodles, or your favorite grain.
