Self gravy should form in the bottom of wok. Stir chicken in gravy so it will cook in gravy. Gravy should become gelatinous after 5 minutes of cooking. If it becomes too thick, thin gravy out with small amounts of water. 6. Sprinle in 1 cup of peanuts, mix thoroughly. NOTE: Canned hot peppers are too soft to be used for this dish. If desired, dried cayenne peppers can be reconstituted for use. If you are fond of this dish, it is well to freeze your own hot peppers, in season.
