Kung Pao Chicken

4 servings

Oriental

12 ounces chicken breast meat
4 tablespoons peanut or corn oil
2 dried red chilies, seeded and cut into pieces
2 cloves garlic, peeled and diagonally sliced
6 to 4 thin slices fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon dry sherry
3 green onions, cut into small rounds
2 ounces roasted peanuts
Marinade:
1/3 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons thin soy sauce
2 teaspoons sherry
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon egg white, slightly beaten
Sauce:
1 tablespoon thick soy sauce
1 or 2 tbsp chili sauce with garlic
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
6 tablespoons chicken stock or water

1) Cut the chicken into thin strips. Best to cut when chicken is slightly frozen. Cut into cubes about 1/2 inch square. Put into a medium bowl.
2) Prepare the marinade. Add to chicken, mix well and let marinade for 15 to 30 minutes.
3) Prepare the sauce.
4) Heat a wok over high heat until smoke rises. Add the oil and swirl it around. Add the dried chili, stir, then add the garlic and ginger and stir to release their aroma. Add the chicken. Sliding the wok scoop to the bottom of the wok, turn and toss for about a minute. Splash in the sherry around the side of the wok, stirring and tossing continuously. Add the scallions and continue to stir for another 30 to 45 seconds.
5) Add the well-stirred sauce to the wok. Continue to stir while it thickens.
6) Add the peanuts, stir to mix for a few times, then transfer to a warm serving plate. Serve with steamed rice.

You may want to only add 1 dried red chili, about 1 inch long, if desired. If thin soy sauce is available, use it. If not, regular soy sauce won't really make a difference, only in color

Plain boiled rice

8 servings

Oriental

2 cups rice
4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons peanut oil

Take a heavy gauge pan and heat up the oil in it. put the rice in the oil and stir it around a bit for about a minute. Turn the heat down and add water till the water level comes up to an inch above the rice. Best way to see this is to dip your finger into it. The water should come up to about 2/3 of your finger. Turn the heat up and let the rice cook uncovered till most of the surface water has evaporated. When this happens you will see small craters forming in the rice. At this point turn the heat down to the lowest setting, cover the pan tightly and steam for about 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the pan. Viola, you have perfect rice. Uncover the pan, stir the rice around a bit and keep covered with a dry cloth for a while to absorb extra moisture. Incidently, for fried rice, contrary to what some people think, the colder the rice, the better it stir-fries. This is because all the excess moisture which makes the grains stick has evaporated. So you don't get mushy stuff. Ideally prepare the rice the one day before you make fried rice and keep it overnight. It's even tastier then.

TIPS : Wash the rice under cold running water before you make it. Keep washing till the water that it has been washed in is clear and not sort of white
