Danny Kaye's special recipe for Szechuan chicken was the only non-Cantonese dish served. It was so peppery that
if left some guests gasping. "All Szechuan cooking makes Mexican cooking taste like malted milk," said Kaye.
"In the old days it was very difficult to get salt in Szechuan Province, so they learned to cook with red peppers."
Danny Kaye's special recipe for Szechuan chicken is minus measurements because the famous comedian belongs to the
taste-as-you-cook school Steam a chicken (broiler fryer) for about 20 minutes in (chicken) stock. Drain and dryit
and deep fry it until golden brown. Chop into small pieces with a cleaver or heavy knife and dip pieces into a sauce
made by heating a few tablespoons of tomato catsup with Chinese rice wine seasoned with chopped fresh ginger, garlic,
green onion and hot chili peppers and thickened slightly with cornstarch. The chicken pieces should be lightly coated,
not immersed in sauce. [RF]
