Despite being conquerors and overlords, the Mongols were never really assimilated into China. And although the Mongols were already rulers of a world empire, the Han Chinese looked down on them as barbarians.

2 teaspoons peanut oil

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon sugar

2 teaspoons cornstarch

10 oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut on the diagonal into 1/4-inch thick and 2-inch long slices

1/2 teaspoon minced (finely chopped) garlic

2 teaspoons freshly ground dried chili

1/2 teaspoon finely chopped onion

2 teaspoons cold water

2 teaspoons sugar

1 tablespoon peanut oil

1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine (available at Chinese stores) or dry sherry

DIRECTIONS

Mix the marinade ingredients together and marinate the chicken while you prepare all of the other ingredients for cooking. Mix together the garlic, chilis, and onion. Combine the ground bean sauce, water, and sugar.

Heat a wok, add the peanut oil, and swirl the surface with oil. Stir-fry the garlic mixture for 5 seconds. Add the ground bean sauce mixture and stir-fry for 5 seconds. Add the rice wine and combine. Pour in the broth; then the dark soy sauce and stir to combine. Add the chicken, mushrooms, bell peppers, and scallions. Stir-fry over high heat for 2-3 minutes. Then, reduce the heat a little, and stir in the thickening mixture for a few seconds.

Finally, add the sesame oil, which will impart a beautiful fragrance and richness to the dish. Serve hot.
