Crushed Sichuan peppercorns lend a pleasant, tingly (rather than one-note, cry-emoji) spiciness to this colorful stir-fry that tastes as good as it looks. The vinegar-soy mixture does double duty as a quick marinade for the chicken and the foundation for an aromatic garlic-ginger sauce in which everything gets tossed at the end. Don’t forget the rice—there’s no better way to soak up all that sweet, spicy goodness.
