Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 tablespoon sherry
1 tablespoon sriracha
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 3 tablespoons water
2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons peanut oil
8 dried Asian chile peppers, snipped into small pieces
6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced small
2 stalks celery, very finely sliced
1 large red bell pepper, cut into large chunks
1/2 cup unsalted peanuts
Cooked lo mein or chow mein noodles, for serving
2 green onions, sliced

Steps:

  • Begin by mixing the sauce ingredients together: Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, ginger, sherry, sriracha, cornstarch slurry, rice wine vinegar and garlic in a bowl.
  • Heat the peanut oil over high heat in a large skillet. Drop in the chiles and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds to release the heat. Add the chicken and fry until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet. Add the celery and red pepper and cook for 1 minute, then return the chicken to the skillet. Pour in the sauce mixture and cook until the sauce has thickened, a couple of minutes. Add the peanuts and toss together.
  • Serve over noodles and garnish with sliced green onions.

This was the worst kung pao chicken I've ever had. The chicken was dry and tough, and the sauce was bland and watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe is a waste of time and ingredients. The chicken was tough and the sauce was flavorless. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but this recipe turned out terrible. The chicken was overcooked and the sauce was too salty. I'm very disappointed.

The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try marinating the chicken next time to make it more tender.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was still a good dish. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the sauce next time.

The sauce was a bit too spicy for me, but other than that, this recipe was delicious. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili peppers next time.

This kung pao chicken recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was just the right amount of spicy. I served it over rice, and it was a perfect meal.
