Dice up 1/2 a medium brown onion and gently fry until translucent.
Add 1tsp of crushed sezchuan pepprcorns
Add 1 tsp of minced ginger & 1 tsp of minced garlic & 1-2 green finger chillis finely diced and cook for further 2 minutes then add the chicken & 1 chopped spring onion.

Cook chicken until 'nearly done' then add the Kung Po sauce.

Add 75g of cashew or peanuts and cook for 3-4 minutes.

Garnish with another chopped spring onion & serve.
