Introduction
I live in China and love the spicy-ness of this dish. You can use pork, chicken, beef, or simply have it with no meat if you prefer. I live in China and love the spicy-ness of this dish. You can use pork, chicken, beef, or simply have it with no meat if you prefer.Number of Servings: 4

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp vinegar (plain)
1.5 Tbsp Corn starch
3 Tbsp water

1-4 hot red peppers (depends on you, diced)
3 Garlic cloves (chopped)
3 tsp Ginger root (chopped)
2-3 tablespoons of peanuts (unsalted preferred)
Directions
Preparation:
-Cut pork into thin strips and place in a small bowl
-Cut onion and jalepenos and place together in a serving dish.

To cook:

Add 1 Tbsp oil to a wok or frying pan and after heated add your onions and jalepenos. Stir fry these for about 1 minute, then add 1/2 cup of water to the mix. Cover the wok for 10 minutes while the vegetables soften. Remove the vegetables, drained, and place them back in the serving dish. Add the pork to the mix.
Add 1 Tbsp oil to your pan and add in you red pepper, ginger, and garlic. Stir slightly and let cook until the pepper turns a little dark. Add in your peanuts for 30 seconds.
Quickly, (heat still going) add in your vegetable/meat mixture and then your sauce. The sauce will thicken as you continue to stir. Remove from heat and serve with rice.
Feel free to add whatever vegetables or meat you like.

Yum!! Going to add this to my file and make it with chicken, my preference with peanuts. Of course in the US this is one serving, maybe two. For people worried about 3 Tbls of oil, note that only 1 remains in the food, the rest is poured off. Even that could be reduced to 1-2 tsp. I pref peanut oil. - 5/14/13
