Method
- 1 Chop the chicken into small pieces with the bone, then marinate with soy sauce and ginger for 30 minutes.
- 2 Coat the coat with tapioca starch, then deep-fry at 180 degrees Celsius for 6 minutes until the crust is crispy and firm.
- 3 Fry again at 200 degrees for 60 seconds; the crust should be crispy enough to withstand a large amount of chili peppers when stir-fried.
- 4 Toast chopped dried chilies with Sichuan peppercorns in warm oil for 60 seconds, then remove and set aside.
- 5 Sauté the garlic and ginger, then add the chicken and stir-fry for 60 seconds.
- 6 Add the roasted chilies and Sichuan peppercorns, stir for 30 seconds, then sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
