Recipe: Kung Pao Chicken

An other dish I will serve for the Chinese new year is Kung Pao Chicken.
Here is how it goes:

Ingredients:

chicken, about 4 breasts.
9 chilies without the seeds

Marinade for the chicken:
2 table spoon of corn starch
1 table spoon of water and one of soy sauce


Sauce for stir fry:
1/2 table spoon vinegar
1 table spoon rice wine
1 table spoon soy sauce
1 table spoon sugar
1/2 table spoon corn starch
1 table spoon sesame oil


Cube and marinade the chicken, prepare the sauce for the stir fry.

Deep fry the chicken in about 200ml of Oil.
Not all at once since they tend to stick together.
So make half and half. This seals the chicken cubes so they stay nice juicy inside.


Than remove the oil from the wook and keep about 2 table spoon. Stir fry the chilies with a half a teaspoon of ginger powder until black, than add the rest of the ingredients and the sauce you made back in.






Its best to serve with some fried rice.
Don't forget to warn your guests about the chillies, since they can be quiet hot !

Enjoy !
