Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Blanch the washed chicken pieces in warm water and take them out after the water boils for two to three minutes and set aside;

   

2. 2 Put oil in the pot, the amount does not need to be large. When the oil is hot, add the Sichuan peppercorns, stir-fry until fragrant and take out the Sichuan peppercorns;

   

3. 3 Add the blanched and drained chicken pieces and stir-fry over low heat;

   

4. 4 When the chicken pieces change color, add the sliced ginger, minced garlic, and shredded green onion in turn, and stir-fry over high heat;

   

5. 5 Add bean paste and continue to stir-fry;

   

6. 6 Add shredded shiitake mushrooms and continue to stir-fry. When the shiitake mushrooms become soft, add dark soy sauce to enhance the flavor, add light soy sauce for color, and then add vinegar. You can omit it if you prefer;

   

7. 7 After stir-frying for a while, add a little more boiling water over the chicken pieces. Because yam has high starch content and less water, it tends to stick to the bottom of the pot. Add the chopped yam slices;

   

8. 8 Add hawthorn and powdered sugar, cover the pot, simmer over high heat for five minutes and then reduce to low heat;

   

9. 9 Simmer over low heat for ten minutes, then add an appropriate amount of salt, continue to simmer for about five minutes, until the water is almost dry, add Shanghai greens and minced garlic, stir-fry, turn off the heat, add sesame oil, and take it out of the pot!

   

10. 10 This is the finished product. I'm not very good at plating. The chicken is soft and fragrant, paired with mushrooms, the yam is soft and glutinous, sweet and sour, I asked, it’s good, ladies, give it a try!
