INGREDIENTS LIST
For the seasoning powder:
Red, fragrant chili, e.g. Guajillo, Erjingtiao (二荆条), Kashmiri, ~12g, toasted then ground
Hot, spicy chili, e.g. Heaven Facing (朝天椒), Tientsin, Piri Piri, ~3g, toasted then ground
Sichuan peppercorns (花椒), toasted then ground
Fennel seed (小茴香), toasted then ground
Toasted or roasted peanuts, ~1.5 tbsp, ground
Five spice powder (五香粉), 1 tsp
Chicken bouillon powder (鸡粉), 1 tsp

Dark soy sauce (老抽), 1/2 tsp
Sichuan peppercorn powder (花椒面), 1/4 tsp
Oil, to coat, ~2 tbsp
Fingerling potatoes, ~400g. Or your potato of choice, though something waxier will work better for the pot (starchier potatoes like russets tend to get too soft).
