Kung Pao Chicken

My collection of recipes gathered from friends, family and the internet. I like finding whole food plant based recipes - plus traditional ethnic recipes and anything a bit unusual.

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided

2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch piece

1 medium scallion, finely chopped

1 tablespoon sliced peeled fresh ginger

½ teaspoon Szechuan peppercorns, or more to taste

10 dried small red chiles (Tien Tsin or chile de árbol) (about 1/5 ounces)

2 garlic cloves, sliced

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 teaspoon soy sauce, or more to taste

2 teaspoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon lao chou soy sauce (dark soy sauce)

1 teaspoon Shaoxing wine or dry sherry

1 teaspoon potato starch
