Steps to make Kung Pao Chicken:

1. Immediately, soak large red chilies, whole, in hot water for 10-15 minutes
2. While the chillies are soaking, finely slice the onion, bell peppers and red pepper, before then cutting your chicken thighs into cubes. Set the cubed chicken into a separate bowl, then finely dice the garlic and birdseye chillies and finally crush the Sichuanese peppercorns with either a pestle and mortar or rolling pin.
3. Next, marinate your chicken. Ensuring that the cornflour is introduced last, add all of the marinade ingredients to the cubed chicken and then massage well.
4. In a separate bowl, mix all of the sauce ingredients together.
5. At this point, your large red chilies should be soaked. Remove them from the hot water and place in a bowl with the chopped garlic, Birdseye chilies and Sichuan peppercorns to form your ‘Spice Mix’.
6. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a wok to high heat. Once smoking hot, add the onions and peppers and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Push the onions and peppers to one side of the wok and add an extra 1/2 a teaspoon of oil to center of wok.
7. Bring the oil to a high heat and add the chicken. Allow the chicken to sit and sear on one side, before then folding it through with the peppers and onions and stir-frying until the chicken is golden brown.
8. Now, add the spice mix, immediately followed by the sauce, and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Finally, add cashew nuts, scallions and serve - preferably with some steamed rice!
