Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Prepare the mala sauce by mixing together 1/2 cup of Sichuan peppercorn oil, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 1/4 cup of rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground Sichuan peppercorns in a small bowl. Stir well to combine and set aside.
2
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in a mixture of 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cornstarch, and 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs, shaking off excess.
3
Heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Fry the breaded chicken breast until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
4
While the chicken is frying, toast the sesame seeds in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly browned.
5
To assemble the dish, place a fried chicken breast on a plate, top with a slice of mozzarella cheese, and drizzle with the mala sauce. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, crispy fried shallots, and chopped scallions.
