Kong Pao Chicken Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Sauce

   In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar, and chili paste. Stir well until the cornstarch and sugar are fully dissolved. Set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Chicken

   In a large skillet or wok, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Stir-fry the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed. Add the minced garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Then, add the diced red and green bell peppers. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

4. 4

   Combine Ingredients

   Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. 5

   Add Peanuts and Green Onions

   Add the roasted peanuts and chopped green onions to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another minute. Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce if needed.

6. 6

   Serve

   Remove from heat and serve hot over steamed rice or noodles.
