Well, time to jump in here on this "Hacked Chicken" bit, which is actually a Szechuan dish. Shao Hsing is a very potent Chinese rice wine available at Asian grocery stores. The secret of the flavour of this dish is really the sesame paste, for which peanut butter may be substituted, but it aint the same! Trust me!! OK, here we go: Pon Pon Chicken... 1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, about 2 lbs 3 tbls sesame seed paste, thinned with water or chicken stock OR 3 tbls smooth peanut butter combined with 2 tbls sesame oil 2 tsps light soy sauce 1 tbls red wine vinegar 2 tbls peanut oil 2-3 tsps crushed, dried hot chiles, whatever you have dried, habs best 1 tbls minced ginger root 1 tbls chopped scallion 1 tbls chopped garlic 1 tbls rice wine OR dry sherry 1 tsp Calvins OR Jim's smoked hab powder 1 tbls of toasted and ground Szechuan pepper corns Place chicken breast in water with a little salt and simmer for about 5 - 10 minutes until just done, let cool and cut into strips.Put the sesame paste, or peanut butter mixture in a bowl, add soy sauce & vinegar, and blend until smooth, then blend in the oil, crushed chiles, ginger, scallion, garlic, sherry or rice wine, Calvin's, and finally the ground Szechuan peppercorns. Mix this all well together, and add the reserved chicken strips. This dish is best when prepared in the morning and refigerated, then served at room temperature. Like my cold lemon chicken which I posted a couple of years ago, this is a great summer time dish. If the dried crushed chiles you are using, are potent, you will find this to be a fabulous dish....Cheers, Doug in BC
