Kung Pao Chicken is made from diced chicken, peanuts, dried chili, etc. It is delicious and tender, spicy but not dry. Because the chicken is coated with a layer of water starch, it will be cooked and tender when fried.
So how did Kung Pao Chicken get its name? The legend is created by the chef of Prince Shaobao Ding Baozhen in the late Qing Dynasty. It is said that Ding Baozhen has always maintained a simple lifestyle. Sometimes he was busy returning home late for official business, and the chef knew the adult's temper, so he grabbed some ready-made chicken, spicy peppers, and peanuts in the kitchen, and served them in a hot pan and quickly fried them. Mr. Ding liked it. After he became an official in Sichuan, the home cook also accompanied him from Shandong. He saw that Tianfu peanuts were not inferior to Shandong big peanuts. They were combined with Sichuan’s spicy customs and improved, adding a little sugar to add freshness. Master Ding praised this move. Officials, relatives and friends who came to the Ding Mansion for a banquet also praised the special flavor of the chicken. Because Ding Baozhen was once known as the Prince Shaobao (honoured as Gongbao), he jokingly called this dish "Kongbao Chicken", and it has become popular throughout the country until today.
Kung Pao Chicken has become famous all over the world, but for the family, the one that suits your taste is still the best, so this one I made can be called a fake version, so don’t take a picture if you pass by. For the taste, please increase or decrease the seasoning according to your own needs. "
