INSTRUCTIONS

Well, haven't posted anything for awhile, so here we go with a
Szechuan Eight Treasure Stir Fry. If you want it hotter, add more
chiles! This is a really great recipe, takes a little time to do, but
it is worth it....serve with either Thai rice, or noodles, this time
for us it will be noodles, garnished with pickled ginger.  Heat a wok
to HOT add 2 tbls peanut oil, and stir fry the meat shreds,  until they
change color and are cooked....remove and keep warm. Drain  oil and
re-heat the wok, add another 2 tbls peanut oil, and heat to  high
again, and stir fry the chile paste for a minute and then add  the
sauce ingredients, heat to boil and add the tofu, mushrooms, snow
peas, water chestnuts, baby corn, hot peppers, and the reserved
meat...heat this through, for about three minutes, long enough to  cook
the vegetables, add the peanuts and serve with either rice or  noodles.
If this is not thick enough, add cornstarch and water  mixture 1-1
until thickened then serve immediately. This one is a  combination of
Nina Simond's recipe and my additions and  changes....it is a very
delightful Szechuan Chinese(or Hunan) dish.  Enjoy!  Posted to
