Chicken with Peanuts in Hot and Spicy Sauce

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound (225g) boneless chicken legs or shredded chicken
• 1/2 tablespoon wine
• 1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Dash of pepper
• 3/4 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 dried hot pepper, cut into 1/2-inch long, remove seeds
• 1 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• Total of 1 1/2 cups each: diced squash, peanuts
• 2 1/2 tablespoons each: soy sauce, water
• 1/2 tablespoon each: granulated sugar, wine
• 1 teaspoon each: vinegar, cornstarch

Instructions

1. Mix chicken legs, wine, soy sauce, salt, dash of pepper and cornstarch. Add oil before stir frying so beef shreds separate easily during frying. Heat oil; stir fry it until done medium well, then move to side of pan.
2. Use remaining oil to stir fry pepper, garlic and 1 teaspoon sesame oil until fragrant.
3. Add and stir sponge-gourd and peanuts briefly.
4. Mix and add sauce, water, sugar, wine, vinegar and cornstarch; cover and cook until steaming, then stir to mix well.
