Kung Pao Chicken (can also be transcribed as Gong Bao or Kung Po) or 宫保鸡丁 in Chinese, is a spicy stir-fry Chinese dish that originated from Sichuan, China.
This dish is usually prepared with chicken, peanuts, vegetables and chili peppers but the gong bao sauce has been used to created other gong bao dishes with other types of meat including frog and fish etc. For some unknown reason (really beats me), Kung Pao chicken is very popular in westernized Chinese cuisine. If you know the reason why, please drop me a message to enlighten me.

    The reason Gung Pao Chicken 🐔 is SO popular in America, is that it's a double-Yin double -Yang dish. It has the perfect balance of sweet/sour, & savory/spicy. The sauce can be modified to individual tastes and can be used for other stir-fried dishes. You can do so much with it! Don't want chicken? You can substitute any other meat or seafood to make it. I like to substitute walnuts for peanuts in my Gung Pao. It gives it a deeper, smokier flavor! It's also an authentic Chinese dish, and we Americans actually WANT that. Yes, we like fortune cookies, but we know that they are not Chinese, where Almond Cookies are. Hot and Sour Soup and Har Gow are both very popular among us Americans. The more we research our past, the more we learn how mistreated the Chinese railroad laborers were, how our own government tried to marginalize and ostrasize the Chinese and Asians, and how the Asians rose above the hatred and villainy of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Laws, to become some of the most productive people in our society. I hope that answers your question.

    This recipe made another successful dinner with happy full belly teenage boys!
    I used the Airfryer to cook the chicken, to avoid the extra oil from deep frying. The chicken turned out so flavorful and juicy inside. I think I will substitute all deep frying with the air fryer from now on. Thankyou for your channel Jamie!
