Garlic peanuts ............................ ½ cup

1 Dried red pepper ...................... ¾ cup
Szechuan pepper corn ........... 1 teaspoon

2 Green onions ..................... 6 sections
Minced ginger ...................... 1 teaspoon

Monosodium glutamate ......... ¼ teaspoon

PREPARATION

  1. Cut dried red pepper into sections,
    discard seeds!
  2. After tenderizing the chicken (illustra-
    tion 1), cut it into 1.5 x 1.5 cm cubes
    (illustration 2) and marinate with 3
    for 10 minutes! Heat up the wok, add
    4 cups of oil and heat it up for 6 min.
    (to about 140 °C = 284 °F)! After im-
    mersing the chicken in the oil (illust-
    ration 3), take it out immediately!
  3. Keep 3 tablespoons of oil in the wok,
    roast 1, until fragrant! Then after
    adding in 2 to fry, until its fragrance
    bursts out, continue to add the chicken
    with 4 and stir-fry over high heat, until
    evenly mixed! Mix in garlic peanuts
    before removing!
※ When roasting the dried red pepper, the
    oil shouldn't be too hot, in order to avoid
    the dried red pepper turning black.

※ Gung Bao cuttlefish/squid:
    Substitute chicken with 450 g (1 lb.) of
    cuttlefish/squid! The cuttlefish/squid
    doesn't need to be marinated in 3. Add
    ½ teaspoon of salt and ½ tablespoon of
    corn starch in addition to 4! The rest
    remains the same as above.
