For the rice:
Bring the rice and water to boil.
Cover saucepan and simmer for 20 minutes until rice is cooked.
(Alternatively, use your rice cooker with the same proportions above.)
For the chicken:
Over medium high heat, heat 1 tbsp cooking oil in a heavy bottomed saucepan.
When the oil is hot, add ginger, garlic, dried chilli, and Sichuan peppercorns and cook for 1-2 minutes until the chilli begins to blister.
Add the chicken and fry for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Pour the Kung Po sauce into the pan and simmer for one minute.
Add the scallions.
In a separate bowl, mix the potato starch with 4 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
Slowly add the potato starch mixture into the pan.
Simmer until the sauce has thickened.
Add the chilli oil according to your personal preference. Careful, because the chilli oil is hot!
To plate, sprinkle the cashew nuts over the top. Serve with rice.
