One of my favourite Chinese Cuisine!
Apart from the whole dry red chillies it includes Schezwan peppercorns / Timbur too.
This is adapted from the delicious recipe of Chef Chen Yichun!
If you don't get Chinese cooking wine or want to make non alcoholic version add apple juice or white grape juice.
If you don't get Chinese Rice vinegar then substitute it with apple cider vinegar.
The flavour may vary a bit due to the change in ingredients.
I have added bellpeppers, as I love it with chicken.
Timbur is Schezwan peppercorns in Nepali language, it can be easily available in the hills of Darjeeling and Sikkim in India.
