Chicken Recipe
Kung Pao Chicken is a classic Chinese dish that combines tender chicken, crunchy peanuts, and colorful veggies in a sweet, savory, and slightly spicy sauce. To make this better than takeout, start by marinating bite-sized chicken pieces in soy sauce, cornstarch, and a splash of rice wine for 15 minutes. Heat oil in a wok, then stir-fry the chicken until golden and set aside. In the same pan, sauté garlic, ginger, dried red chilies, and bell peppers until fragrant. Return the chicken, add roasted peanuts, and toss everything together.
Prepare the signature sauce with soy sauce, hoisin sauce, vinegar, sugar, and a touch of cornstarch for thickness. Pour it over the chicken and veggies, stir well until glossy, and let it simmer for a minute. Serve hot over steamed rice or noodles for a quick, delicious homemade Kung Pao Chicken packed with flavor!
