Directions

To prepare Sichuan sauce:

Whisk broth, tomato paste, vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch and crushed red pepper to taste in a small bowl.

To prepare chicken:

Combine chicken, rice wine (or sherry), soy sauce, cornstarch and garlic in a medium bowl; mix thoroughly.

Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or large skillet over high heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds of contact.

Swirl oil into the pan, add ginger and stir-fry for 10 seconds. Carefully add the chicken mixture, spreading it out.

Cook until the chicken begins to brown, about 1 minute.

Using a spatula, stir-fry for 30 seconds.

Spread the chicken out again and cook for 30 seconds.

Continue stir-frying until the chicken is lightly browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add snap peas and stir-fry for 1 minute.

Stir the Sichuan Sauce, swirl it into the pan and stir-fry until the chicken is just cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened and glossy, 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Transfer to a platter (discard the ginger) and sprinkle with peanuts and scallions.

Serve immediately.
