1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon soy sauce, dark
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 x vegetable oil (for deep frying)
2-3 tablespoons vegetable oil (in addition to the above)
2 Cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon ginger root fresh, shredded
4-5 each black peppercorns
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon cooking wine chinese

Cut the chicken into 3/4 inch cubes.

In a wok or deep-sided, heavy-bottomed sauce pan, heat enough vegetable oil to deep fry the chicken.

Deep fry the chicken until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towel.

Deep fry the peppers 10 seconds and remove.

Heat the 2-3 tablespoons of oil in the wok.
