Selena's Kong Bao Chicken image

My college roommate was from Taiwan, and this dish that she made was my favorite. I asked for it so much she finally gave me her recipe! A great Asian dish to pair with rice and a veggie dish, or even to serve with toothpicks as a appetizer. Her measurements are not exact, as it is a dish handed down in her family and they just know how much to put in.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

¼ cup cornstarch
3 tablespoons rice wine
2 tablespoons soy sauce
½ pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh ginger root
6 dried red chile peppers
¼ cup rice wine
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup white sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 teaspoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil
½ cup peanuts
4 green onions, cut into 1-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Whisk 1/4 cup cornstarch, 3 tablespoons rice wine, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce together in a bowl. Add chicken to the marinade and stir to coat completely. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet. Cook and stir chicken in the hot oil until completely browned; remove from oil with a slotted spoon to a bowl, retaining oil and drippings in the skillet.
  • Pour remaining 1 tablespoon oil into the skillet and let it get hot before adding garlic, ginger, and red chile peppers; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Return chicken to the skillet; cook and stir until the chicken is nearly cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Whisk 1/4 cup rice wine, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup cornstarch, sugar, water, vinegar, and sesame oil together in a bowl; pour over the chicken mixture. Cook until the sauce begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Add peanuts and green onion; cook and stir 1 minute more.

I'm not a fan of this recipe. The flavors were just okay and the chicken was a bit overcooked.

This recipe was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the sauce was too thick and gloppy.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's easily adjusted.

This was a great recipe. I was a bit hesitant to try it because I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but it wasn't too spicy at all. The flavors were really well-balanced and the chicken was perfectly cooked.
