Stir-Fry Chicken

Tonight, i cooked Chinese food. Mr. Gorilla told me that he liked it a lot, while i actually am not a big fan of Chinese dish, especially tonight's dish. He told me that it had the same taste as what he ate once a week when he worked in Shanghai, and then he kept on by saying that maybe it was my cooking that he felt in love with, not with who i am (oh that nasty mouth of his!). He even told me that i am getting better and better on cooking compared to what i did 4 years ago when we just moved in to our small apartment, that i often spoiled dinner time with my fail cookings, haha.

Well, i actually wanted to cook something like schezuan chicken, unfortunately, the red pepper is what i have, not have the schezuan pepper, and at this moment, i am still trying to find where i can find it in Paris. I have not yet looked for it in the biggest Asian supermarket in Paris, Tang Frères, i am really really hoping that they have it. In the mean time, here is my recipe.

Ingredients:

• 250 gr chicken fillet, cut in small pieces
• 1 tsp red pepper (Peruvian pepper)
• 1 tbs dry chili
• 1 tbs rice vinegar
• 1 tsp ginger powder
• 1 tbs soy sauce
• 2 crushed garlic
• sugar (according to your liking)
• 1 red spicy chilly (discard the inside part and slice thinly).
• A bunch of coriander leaves
• 1 tbs of cooking oil
• 2 carrots, thinly sliced
• a bunch of bean sprout

Method:

1. Heat your cooking oil in a wok.
2. Add all of the spices, stir - fry until golden brown, or until it releases all of the aromes.
3. Stir in the carrots, soy sauce and vinegar.
4. Add the chicken, cook again until it takes all of the coulor of the seasoning.
5. Turn off fire, add bean sprouts, and sprinkle with coriander leaves.
6. Serve with rice.
