Sichuan pepper chicken
Sichuan pepper chicken (simplified Chinese: 川椒鸡; traditional Chinese: 川椒雞; pinyin: Chuānjiāo jī; lit. 'Sichuan pepper chicken'), also known as chin jiew chicken, is a deep-fried chicken dish in Teochew cuisine, typically cooked with leafy green called pearl vegetable (珍珠菜, Lysimachia clethroides).[1][2] Outside of China, basil, mint, spinach, and other leafy green vegetables are used as substitutes for this vegetable in preparing the dish. The dish is also known for its use of fish sauce and Sichuan peppercorns, the dish's namesake.[1]
