4tsp of soy sauce, 4tsp of rice wine and 2tsp of sesame oil.
Sprinkle with cornstarch, and mix until evenly combined.
Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

Heat half of the veggie oil in a wok over high heat.
Stir the chicken and shrimp and cook until the chicken has
turned white on the outside and is still a bit pink in the center.
Remove the chicken and shrimp and wipe the wok clean.

Heat the remaining veggie oil over high heat. Stir in the
garlic and cook for a few seconds until the garlic
begins to turn brown. Stir in the dried chiles and
szechuan peppercorns. Cook and sir for a few seconds

until chicken is no longer pink. Stir in the peanuts and
