Ingredients

1 Tbsp peanut (groundnut) oil
1 red chilli
1 tsp Szechuan peppercorns, crushed
6 rashers of bacon
1 tsp Chinese rice wine (Shaoxing)

Dice the bacon into 1 cm cubes. Deseed the chilli then finely chop. Crush the peppercorn in a mortar.
Heat a wok. Add the oil and, when it's smoky, stir-fry the chilli and peppercorn for a few seconds. Add the bacon pieces, stir-fry for about 2-3 minutes until crispy.
Add the rice wine, stir-fry for 3-5 minutes. Turn off the heat, then stir in the rice vinegar, lime juice and oil.
