Hi Radek! Yes, you can replace cornstarch with potato starch. Feel free to skip Shaoxing rice wine. Happy cooking!

– can I replace cornstarch with potato flour/potato starch
– is shaoxing wine essential or what I can use instead
thank you for all the recipes

Thanks for trying the recipe! Sichuan peppercorns can definitely be a bit intense if you bite into them. Typically, people use chopsticks to pick up just the chicken, scallions, and peanuts, being careful to leave the peppercorns behind. It takes a bit of practice, but it gets easier once you’re used to spotting them.

I made this recipe just now and its tasty but when i get a bite of peppercorns it gives a bad feeling

I am consuming this meal with rice

Loved this – I didn’t have all the correct chilli components and under spiced it.

Will try again because it was very tasty. Chicken thighs recommended.
