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.
