Title: Kung Pao Chicken - Gungbao Chicken Categories: Chinese, Chicken Yield: 6 Servings 1 lb Chicken 2 tb Soy sauce 1 tb Cornstarch 1 tb Rice wine 2 1/2 oz Peanuts 4 Scallions 8 Dried chiles 3 sl Ginger 2 ts Sugar 2 ts Sesame oil Oil for frying Dice the chicken: marinate for 30 minutes in 1 tb soy, the cornstarch and rice wine. Cut the scallions into 1 in. pieces and the chiles in half (they are assuming you are using small ones). Heat the oil and deep fry the chicken dice for 2 minutes. Drain well. Reheat the oil and fry peanuts for 3 minutes. Drain. Heat a pan with 3 TB of oil and stir fry ginger, scallions and chiles. And chicken dice and stir fry for another minute before stirring in 1 tb soy and the sugar. Adjust the seasonings and stir in the peanuts. Serve sprinkled with sesame oil. [Note: I believe this recipe assumes the use of raw peanuts. If you are using roasted peanuts, omit the deep fry.] This is from a Chinese cookbook published in Taiwan.
