A liberal use of Sea Salt and Sichuan Pepper perfectly enhances my version of Chicken Broccoli Noodles. My Salt and Pepper Chicken Broccoli Noodles has a special Sichuan touch along with wonderfully crunchy Broccoli, juicy bites of Chicken, and chewey Noodles. Every ingredient completes the other with a harmonious blending of flavors and textures.

The numbing Sichuan sensation needs to be experienced to be believed. You will love it for a weeknight meal or a weekend dinner party. If you are a fan of Salt and Pepper, you might also like my Salt and Pepper Shrimp Fried Rice and Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings too.

SALT AND PEPPER MIX

For the Salt and Pepper Mix, I use Sichuan Peppercorns, Black Peppercorns, and Sea Salt. I like to toast the Peppercorns on medium-heat for about 1 minute before mixing with the Sea Salt to get the best fragrance. It is important that you use Sea Salt instead of regular Salt. The taste will not be the same if you use regular salt.

THE CHICKEN

As always, I love using Chicken leg meat. The dark meat part of the Chicken is just much juicer and tastier in my view. Of course, you can use Chicken breast as well. Marinating the Chicken will always help reserve the juiciness of the Chicken meat.

HOW TO MAKE THIS CHICKEN BROCCOLI NOODLES

Prepare the Chicken and Broccoli

1. Marinate the Chicken – In a large mixing bowl, mix together Chicken with Chinese Cooking Wine, Light Soy Sauce, Egg White, and Cornstarch. Set aside to mardinate for 15 minutes.

2. Prepare the Sauce – In a bowl, mix together Light Soy Sauce, Oyster Sauce, Sesame Oil, and Sugar. Set aside.

3. Prepare the Salt & Pepper Mix – In a frying pan, toast Sichuan Peppercorns and Black Peppercorns on medium heat for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Then use a Mortar and Pestle to grind the Peppercorns. Transfer to another bowl. Add in the Sea Salt (don’t use regular salt!). Mix well. Salt and Pepper Mix is ready. Set aside.

4. Cook the Broccoli – Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the Broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes. Strain and put the Broccoli into a bowl of iced cold water. Let sit for 3-4 minutes. Then strain again, add to a bowl, and set it aside.

5. Cook the Spaghetti Noodles – Boil a pot of water on high heat. Cook the Spaghetti Noodles for 7-9 minutes according to the package instructions. Rinse in cold water and set aside.

6. Fry the Chicken – In a frying pan, add in enough Vegetable Oil. Fry the Chicken pieces in batches and fry for 3-4 minutes until nicely golden. Set aside.

Assemble the dish

7. Cook the Garlic – In a Dutch oven or a wok, on medium heat, add the Vegetable Oil. Then add in Garlic and stir for about 15 seconds until fragrant. Add in the Chili Flakes. Gently stir.

8. Assemble the rest – Add in the fried Chicken pieces and some Salt & Pepper Mix. Stir well. Turn the heat down to low. Add in Spaghetti, Broccoli, and the pre-made Sauce. Mix to combine well. Add in Green Onions and more Salt & Pepper Mix. Combine everything well.

9. Ready to serve – Transfer to serving plates or bowls. Garnish with some chopped Green Onions and Sea Salt & Pepper Mix on top. Ready to enjoy!

Haini’s Tips

Generously use the Salt and Pepper Mix in the dish. The more, the better the taste. There will be some leftover Salt and Pepper Mix. Reserve it in a container and use it for other dishes as you desire. Do not waste it. Once you taste this spice you will use it often.
I use Spaghetti Noodles, but you can also use Udon or Egg Noodles.

I hope you will enjoy making this Sea Salt and Sichuan Pepper Chicken Broccoli Noodles. It is a taste-bud party, which makes you crave for more.
