Steps:
- Cut the scallions into sections and then slice these lengthwise into thin slivers. Put them into a bowl of cold water to refresh.
- Whisk the sugar and salt in the soy sauce and vinegar until dissolved. Gradually whisk in the sesame paste to make a smooth sauce. Add the sesame oil, chili oil, and ground Sichuan pepper and mix well. You should yield about ½ cup of strange flavor sauce.
- Cut the chicken into slivers about ½ inch wide (if you want to be really authentic, hit it a few times with a rolling pin or wooden dowel to loosen the fibers and then tear the flesh into shreds by hand).
- Shortly before serving, drain the scallions and pile them neatly in the center of your serving dish. Lay the chicken slivers on top of them, then pour the prepared sauce over the top. Finally, sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve immediately.

GARY'S STRANGE FLAVORED CHICKEN
We have a neighborhood Chinese restaurant that we love and have been going to for years. One of our favorite takeout meals was a Szechuan style dish called Strange Flavored Chicken.

- 1. Gather all your ingredients and prep. everything ahead of time. Once you start cooking it will go quick and easy that way.
- 2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the oils over medium-high heat
- 3. Liberally season chicken with the Chinese five spice.
- 4. In a small bowl, combine broth, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, Chinese hot mustard, ginger, and cornstarch. Set aside. * Note. I often use dried shiitake mushrooms for this dish. when I do I save the water I use to reconstitute them and then add a chicken bouillon cube to it and this is what I use for the broth.
- 5. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
- 6. Add the snow peas, mushrooms, chilies, carrots ,bell pepper, and onion and cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the water chestnuts.
- 7. Add the sauce mixture to the skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium to medium-low, and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, or until sauce thickens.
- 8. * Note: This dish goes great over hot cooked rice or rice noodles.
