Set the cubed chicken into a separate bowl, then finely dice the garlic and birdseye chillies and finally crush the Sichuanese peppercorns with either a pestle and mortar or rolling pin.
- Next, marinate your chicken. Ensuring that the cornflour is introduced last, add all of the marinade ingredients to the cubed chicken and then massage well.
- In a separate bowl, mix all of the sauce ingredients together.
- At this point, your large red chilies should be soaked. Remove them from the hot water and place in a bowl with the chopped garlic, Birdseye chilies and Sichuan peppercorns to form your ‘Spice Mix’.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok to high heat. Once smoking hot, add the onions and peppers and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Push the onions and peppers to one side of the wok and add an extra 1/2 a teaspoon of oil to center of wok.
- Bring the oil to a high heat and add the chicken. Allow the chicken to sit and sear on one side, before then folding it through with the peppers and onions and stir-frying until the chicken is golden brown.
- Now, add the spice mix, immediately followed by the sauce, and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Finally, add cashew nuts, scallions and serve - preferably with some steamed rice!
