Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ (2 pound) whole chicken
1 (3/4 inch thick) slice fresh ginger, crushed
1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup chile oil
2 tablespoons white sugar
¼ teaspoon monosodium glutamate (MSG)
¼ teaspoon Sichuan peppercorn oil
6 spring onions (white parts only), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add chicken and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and discard water.
  • Bring a large pot of fresh water to a boil; add chicken, ginger, and peppercorns. Add more water if needed to cover chicken completely. Cover and cook over high heat until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear, 35 to 45 minutes. Drain and discard water.
