- Make the Chicken:
- Add the peanut oil to the wok and place it over high heat.
- When the oil is hot but not yet smoking, add the chilies and Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry briefly until crisp and the oil is spicy and fragrant.
- Whatever you do, be mindful not to burn the chilies and peppercorns.
- You can remove the wok from the heat if necessary to prevent overheating.

- As soon as the chicken cubes have separated, add the ginger, garlic, and green onions and continue to stir-fry for a few minutes until everything is fragrant and the chicken is cooked through.

- As soon as the sauce is warmed through and becomes thick and shiny, add the peanuts, stir to combine, and serve.
