For the Poached Chicken, place chicken, ginger, 6 spring onions and coriander into a large saucepan. Add salt and enough boiling water to cover the chicken. Simmer over very low heat for 45 minutes.

Julienne the whites of the remaining 4 spring onions and set aside.

Step 5

Toast the sesame seeds in a small pan until golden and set aside.

Add 4 tablespoons chicken poaching broth, sesame paste, vinegar, Spiced Soy, Chilli Oil, sesame oil, sugar and mix until combined. Add Sichuan pepper to taste and additional broth to achieve ideal consistency. Set aside.

Step 19

For the Smacked Cucumber, combine vinegar, Spiced Soy, Chilli Oil and minced garlic in a medium bowl.

Step 20

Cut the cucumber into 4 cm batons and smack them with a pestle or the back of a knife.

Step 21

Add to the bowl and toss gently to coat in the dressing. Garnish with sesame seeds and coriander leaves.

Step 22

To assemble, pile the strips of chicken into the centres of 4 shallow serving bowls. Pour the strange flavor sauce around and over the chicken and garnish with the fried peanuts, spring onions and toasted sesame seeds. Spoon over some more Chilli Oil and Spiced Soy to taste. Serve with Smacked Cucumber and remaining sauces on the side.
