Ingredients

1 small roasted chicken, about 3 ½ pounds, skin removed, meat removed from bones

2 cups iceberg lettuce, thinly sliced

For the Sichuan Peppercorn Paste

1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns

1 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and minced

¼ cup scallions, thinly sliced

For the Sauce:

3 tablespoons chicken stock

2 ½ tablespoons dark soy sauce

2 tablespoons Chinkiang vinegar

2 tablespoons sesame seed paste

1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine

2 teaspoons sesame oil

1 teaspoon chili oil

2 teaspoons peeled and minced fresh ginger

2 teaspoons peeled and minced garlic

2 tablespoons sugar

½ teaspoon salt

Directions

Using your fingers, shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces. You should have about 2 cups. Set aside. Place all the ingredients for the Sichuan peppercorn paste in a mortar and pestle and crush until it is a coarse puree. Alternatively, you could place the ingredients in a small food processor and puree them. Mix all the ingredients for the sauce together in a medium-sized bowl. Add the Sichuan peppercorn paste and stir well. Add chicken and toss well. Place the chicken in the middle of a large plate. Ring with the sliced iceberg lettuce.
