We can’t let the AIC’s have all the fun in the kitchen! Let’s take on a spicy little dish today, the Kung Pao Chicken. This recipe is delicious and it’s really quite easy to prepare. Trust me & enjoy!

Ingredients:

What’s Next:

In a bowl- mix the soy sauce, water, vinegar, sherry, sugar, and 1 T cornstarch, set aside.

Toss the cubed chicken in 1 T cornstarch (you can put the cornstarch in a paper or plastic bag, add the chicken, shake).

Heat the oil in a wok or a deep large skillet.

Add the hot chilies and sauté till chilies begin to darken.

Remove chilies with a slotted spoon – save if you want to add them at the end (we do). Add cubed chicken.

Cook over high heat, stirring, until browned, about 4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Reduce heat to medium.

Pour off the oil, leave about 1 T in the pan. Add scallions, ginger and garlic, sauté for 1 – 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Reduce heat, stir in your soy sauce mixture, cook, stirring occasionally till sauce thickens; about 1 minute.

Add 1 – 2 T water, sherry or vinegar (or mix) if you want a more liquid dish.

Add chicken and peanuts (and chilies if you wish), heat through.

Then serve with white rice. Great with stir fried vegetable, broccoli, snow peas.
