Gorgeous Ginger Chicken
- 2 Tablespoons Oil, For Frying
- 1 Tablespoon Grated Fresh Ginger, Or To Taste
- 2 cloves Garlic, Grated On A Microplane
- 1 Onion, Sliced (optional)
- 3 Boneless Chicken Thighs, Chopped To Bite Size Pieces
- 1 teaspoon Ground And Roasted Sichuan Peppercorns
- 13 cups Rice Wine Vinegar (I Use Shao Hsing Cooking Wine)
- 1 Tablespoon Honey
- 3 Tablespoons Light Soy Sauce
- 1 whole Star Anise (See Note)
- Heat oil in a wok or round frying pan over medium heat.
- Add ginger, garlic and sliced onion if using.
- Fry for a few minutes, until softened.
- Add chicken and cook until brown, 3 minutes or so.
- Add ground peppercorns, red wine vinegar, honey, soy sauce and star anise.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 20 minutes.
- Remove the star anise (see note).
- Serve over noodles or rice.
- There wont be too much sauce, so noodles/rice wont be swimming in it like soup.
- There will be just enough sauce so it can be mixed up.
- Bon appetit!
- Note: Star anise can be expensive, which is why I recycle them.
- Since they need to be fished out of the dish anyway, I dry them after fishing them out and save for another use.
