Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine diced chicken with soy sauce, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a separate bowl, mix together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and sesame oil to create the Kung Pao sauce.

  3. 3

    Stir-Fry the Chicken

    Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Vegetables and Flavor

    Add the minced garlic, ginger, bell pepper, zucchini, and dried chilies to the pan. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables, stirring to coat everything well. Add the roasted peanuts and chopped green onions, and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Serve hot, optionally over rice.
