Shirley Fong-Torres, 1993, Pacific View Press
 
1 whole chicken breast, skinned, boned,
and cut into bite-sized
pieces
Marinade for Chicken:
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice wine or dry sherry
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon hot chili oil
Other Ingredients:
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon hot chili pepper oil
2 or 3 whole chili peppers (optional)
1 yellow onion, sliced
1 bell pepper, diced into 1/2-inch pieces
7 ounces of firm tofu, diced into
1/2-inch cubes
1 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with
2 tablespoons cold water
1/2 cup roasted peanuts
"This dish is a favorite of most people who like spicy food.
Adjust
the spiciness by adding more peppers or chili oil."
Combine the marinade ingredients in a large bowl and toss with
the
chicken. Marinate for 2 to 3 hours.
Heat wok with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and 1 teaspoon chili
pepper
oil, swirling to coat sides. Stir-fry the whole chili peppers for a few
seconds.
When they turn black, remove and discard. Add onion and
chicken and stir-fry over high
heat to sear the meat. Add bell pepper,
and continue to stir-fry for 2 minutes. Gently
fold in tofu and chicken
broth. Blend in hoisin sauce, oyster sauce, and wine, and bring
to a
near boil. Add the cornstarch mixture and continue to cook until
sauce thickens
slightly. Sprinkle in roasted peanuts. Serves 2 to 3.
