Kung Pao Chicken - Gungbao Chicken
Ingredients
1 lb Chicken

2 tbsp Soy sauce

1 tbsp Cornstarch

1 tbsp Rice wine

2 1/2 oz Peanuts

4 Scallions

8 Dried chiles

3 slice Ginger

2 tsp Sugar

2 tsp Sesame oil

Oil for frying

Preparation
Dice the chicken: marinate for 30 minutes in 1 tb soy, the cornstarch and rice wine. Cut the scallions into 1 in. pieces and the chiles in half (they are assuming you are using small ones).



Heat the oil and deep fry the chicken dice for 2 minutes. Drain well. Reheat the oil and fry peanuts for 3 minutes. Drain. Heat a pan with 3 TB of oil and stir fry ginger, scallions and chiles. And chicken dice and stir fry for another minute before stirring in 1 tb soy and the sugar. Adjust the seasonings and stir in the peanuts. Serve sprinkled with sesame oil.



[Note: I believe this recipe assumes the use of raw peanuts. If you are using roasted peanuts, omit the deep fry.]



This is from a Chinese cookbook published in Taiwan.
