Serves 2 Cook: 30 min

Ingredients

Chicken breast (large) 1
Chicken stock 300-400ml
Leek 3cm
Cucumber 5cm
Peanuts 1 tbsp
Chilli oil 2 tbsp (optional)
【Sauce】
Black vinegar 4 tbsp
Light soy sauce 3 tbsp
Sesame oil 3 tbsp
Miso paste 1 tbsp
Ground toasted sesame seeds 2 tbsp
Sugar 2 tbsp
Szechuan peppercorn 1 tbsp
Garlic (grated) 1 tbsp
Ginger (grated) 1 tbsp
Chiu Chou Chilli Oil 2 tbsp (optional)

Method

1
The Szechuan peppercorn brings a great burst of flavour to this dish, so does a good chilli oil.
2
Lightly toast 1 tablespoon of Szechuan peppercorns in a frying pan, wrap in plastic wrap or put in a plastic bag and beat with a rolling pin to crush it and release a scent.
3
Slice the chicken breast into half so that it can be easily cooked, then put it in a pan with the cold chicken stock and heat over a medium heat. When it starts to boil, turn off the heat and cook on residual heat for 20 minutes.
4
Slice the cucumber into thin strips. Finely chop the leeks and peanuts.
5
Put the sauce ingredients in a pan, heat to melt well, and let it cool.
6
Cut the chicken breast into 7-8 mm thick slices and serve on top of the cucumber.
7
Pour the sauce from Step 5 over the chicken. Add the chopped leeks and peanuts on top, and pour some chilli oil for a finishing touch if you like.

Tips & Note

Keep the chicken breast in the stock until just before eating to keep it moist.
