Question, ingredients?

Is this gonna burn my stomach?

[-] jeffep@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

I got this in a restaurant but it seems like basically:

  • lots of chili
  • lots of Sichuan pepper
  • deep fried chicken with a coating
  • peanuts
  • way too much oil
  • some sesame
  • few green onions

If I were to replicate that at home, I'd probably fry the green onions, chicken, Sichuan pepper in a pan first with a lot less oil and without coating. Then add the chopped chilli, fry a bit more, add some sesame.

The chili looks much scarier than it is. I'm somewhat spiciness resistant but not that much, and I ate quite a few of them. They probably take a mild variant.

Peanuts are optional imho.

Chinese friends, feel free to tear this apart.

Not chinese, but you sure there was a coating? Basic stir-fry process is

  1. Deepfry or blanch everything for however long you need to cook the insides

  2. Set aside for however long

  3. Throw some of the oil a hot pan with garlic and other aromatics, cook like 30 seconds

  4. Throw pre-cooked ingredients in, crank heat to max, making sure not to burn anything, but still let it cook.

  5. Throw in salt, sugar, soysauce, whatever.

  6. Add water+cornstarch mix

If you don't pre-cook, you have to use lower temp and everything spends more time in cool oil and makes the whole thing greasy.
