1/2 lb Boneless chicken breasts
-skinned
1 Egg white
1/2 ts Salt
2 ts Cornstarch
2/3 c Oil, preferably peanut
1 tb White sesame seeds
- (untoasted)

---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
1 ts Dark soy sauce

1 ts Sugar
2 ts Rice wine or dry sherry
1/2 ts Roasted Sichuan peppercorns

CUT THE CHICKEN BREASTS into fine shreds 3 inches long. Mix them with
the egg white, salt and cornstarch. Chill for about 20 minutes. Heat
the oil in a wok or large skillet until moderately hot. Add the
chicken mixture and stir-fry it quickly in the oil to keep it from
sticking. Cook until it turns white, which should take about 1
minute. Drain the chicken immediately in a colander or sieve and
drain off the oil. Clean the wok and add about 1 tablespoon of the
drained oil. Reheat until it is hot. Add the sesame seeds and
stir-fry them for 1 minute or until slightly brown. Add the sauce
ingredients and bring to a boil. Return the cooked chicken to the pan
and stir-fry the mixture for another 2 minutes, coating the pieces
thoroughly with the sauce and sesame seeds. Serve at once, or let
cool and serve at room temperature.
