Kung Pao Chicken (宮保雞丁)
Posted by Bel.C
Introducing another spicy dish from my favorite list, Kung Pao Chicken or 宮保雞丁. It is another classic hot and spicy dish originated from the Sze Chuan cuisine, which I had firstly introduced the Sze Chuan Style Spicy Eggplant with Minced Pork in my previous post. I believe many Americans are also familiar with this dish as it can be found in some American Chinese restaurants.
The primary ingredients for the Kung Pao Chicken are chicken in dice or cube size and roasted peanuts. The combination is perfectly proportionated for easy consuming. Some restaurants prepare the dish with cashew nuts, celery, green or red pepper. I guess the recipe changes to suit a variety of taste.
