SZECHUAN CHICKEN WITH CASHEW NUTS
Typically Chinese in origin, this dish has also been served as Thai and Singaporean fare in a lot of restaurants worldwide. A lot or recipes online produce a pale-looking and bland finished product. This recipe is restaurant-grade. The secret is the hoisin sauce, which adds seasoning and a certain degree of sweetness to the dish. There are two different varieties of chili peppers used- the traditional hot pepper, which introduces the spicy Schezuan character of the dish, and the long, dried, semi-spicy, semi-sweet pepper (sorry about the description, but do not confuse this with green pepper), which adds spice and some sweetness. The chicken is fried with the skin to add flavor, and is cooked independently . This retains the crunchiness of the chicken pieces even after cooking.

Steps:
- Dice the chicken breast into ½ inch pieces, dip each piece in egg white, then in cornstarch mixed with a pinch of salt. Fry the chicken pieces in a wok with heated oil until golden brown. Drain the fried pieces of chicken and set aside.
- Fry the cashew nuts in moderately-hot oil until lightly brown and crunchy. Canned or packed cashew nuts will do.
- Slice the long dried peppers into small circumferential pieces, and chop the hot red peppers into finer pieces.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the soy sauce, salt, sugar, vinegar, and sesame oil.
- Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a wok, add the chopped garlic, all of the sliced red peppers, the spring onions. ~Stir fry for 3 minutes.
- Add the chicken and the cashew nuts.
- Pour the contents of the small bowl containing the mixed sauce - soy sauce, sesame oil, etc. (step number 4). Add the rice wine.
- Add 3 tablespoons of the Hoisin sauce, and stir fry over high heat for another 2 minutes, then serve.
SZECHUAN SPICY PEANUTS (黄飞鸿花生, HUANG FEI HONG SPICY PEANUTS)
Szechuan spicy peanuts are an addictive beer accompaniment. Crunchy, salty, slightly sweet, and fiercely hot, with the citrusy tingle of numbingness. You won't able to stop once you pop the first peanut into your mouth.

Steps:
- Cover peanuts with warm water. Let soak for 30 minutes to 4 hours. Peel and discard the skin. Drain and pat dry peanuts with paper towel.
- Combine all the ingredients for the spice mix in a small bowl.
- Add peanuts into a wok and oil to cover. Turn on medium heat. Cook until the peanuts start to sizzle. Turn to medium low heat. Cook and stir occasionally until the surface turns pale yellow. Transfer peanuts using a colander onto a plate layered with paper towels. Remove extra oil from the wok and reserve just 1 teaspoon.
- (Optional) Add chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns into the same wok. Cook and stir until fragrant.
- Return peanuts to wok. Add the spice mix. Stir to mix well so the peanuts are evenly covered with spices. Transfer peanuts onto a big plate to cool. Don't worry if the peanuts are not crispy enough when they're still warm. They'll crisp up and become crunchy once completely cooled.
- Serve immediately as a snack or store in an air-tight container.

TOP 9 CHINESE SICHUAN RECIPES - THE SPRUCE EATS
From thespruceeats.com
Author Rhonda Parkinson
- Kung Pao Chicken. This is the popular dish made with chicken, peanuts, and hot chiles, that is named after a generic government official or kung pao. Feel free to turn the heat up or down on this dish by adjusting the amount of chiles used.
- Mapo Tofu (Mapo Doufu) Tofu and a bit of ground meat are dressed up with spicy seasonings in this popular dish. The name mapo doufu means "old pockmarked grandmother bean curd" in honor of the old woman who is reputed to have invented the dish.
- Hot and Sour Soup. Unlike other Szechuan recipes, this popular soup gets its heat from white pepper (the sour comes from vinegar). Tofu adds extra protein to this warming soup that is reputed to be good for colds.
- Chinese Green Beans. This popular Szechuan dish is a staple at many Chinese restaurant buffets. Instead of chili paste, feel free to add 4 to 6 small dried red chilis if desired.
- Twice Cooked Pork (Hui Guo Rou) In this Szechuan dish, pork is first simmered in a broth of water, rice wine, and ginger and then stir-fried along with vegetables like leeks and red bell pepper, chili paste, sweet bean paste, and dark soy sauce.
- Crispy Szechuan Beef (Gan Bian Niu Rou Si) This recipe uses a technique known as "dry-frying" where the beef is fried for several minutes, making it extra chewy and crispy.
- Chicken With Orange Peel. Poultry and citrus are a popular combination in western China. The linking of hot chiles with Szechuan peppercorn produces the "numbing fire" that gives the cuisine its fiery reputation.
- Bang Bang Chicken (Bang Bang Ji) Sweet, sour, and salty come together in this popular dish, also known as strange flavor chicken. Chunky peanut butter can be used in place of sesame paste.
- Spicy Szechuan Eggplant. Eggplant and ground pork are stir-fried with chile paste and other seasonings in this spicy Szechuan recipe. For a vegetarian version, leave out the ground pork and increase the amount of eggplant.
