It’s hard to see the difference in photos between all the Chinese dishes I put online. The recipe of “kung pao chicken” is however my favorite recipe of the Chinese recipes that I propose in my site. I first discovered it in Chicago and then all over the United States before finding it for good in China! For once I use chicken breast instead of the chicken breast I often use. Simply because this recipe cooks quickly and the whites remain soft. <\/div>\n

-1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
-2 cloves of garlic<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
-5cm of fresh ginger<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
-6 or 7 dried chilies<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
-1 teaspoon Chinese wine (from the kitchen)<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
-1 tablespoon of light soy sauce<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
-1 tablespoon of teriyaki sauce (otherwise use 1\/2 teaspoon of sugar and 1\/2 of soy sauce)<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
-3 tablespoons of plum sauce<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
-3 tablespoons of oyster sauce<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
-1 teaspoon cornstarch<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
-3 tablespoons of water<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
-a good handful of unsalted roasted peanuts<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
3-4 Chinese chives<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
– frying oil<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Start by preparing the sauce with soy sauce, oyster sauce, teriyaki sauce, Chinese wine and plum sauce mixed in one bowl and cornstarch and water in another.<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Peel the garlic and chop it finely.<\/em><\/div>\n
Here is a picture of how to peel garlic by crushing it under the blade of a knife. This is done in seconds!<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
You can also peel the ginger with a spoon very simply!<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Then chop the garlic and ginger together.<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Also cut up the chicken. The goal is to prepare everything in advance before cooking because it cooks up quickly!<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Put 2 or 3 tablespoons of oil in a wok and put on high heat.<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
When the oil is hot, add the dried chillies.<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Remove them when they start to become well colored. But leave the oil! <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Add two tablespoons of the chopped garlic\/ginger mixture to this chili oil. <\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
When the garlic and ginger begin to be fragrant, add the chicken breasts.<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Do not forget to cut the Chinese onion. Rough pieces are enough!<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Add the soy\/honey\/teriyaki\/prune sauce when the chicken starts to get cooked on all sides!<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Mix well and add the water\/maizena mixture.<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Then to finish the peanuts and onion and sesame oil.<\/em><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
<\/em><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Finish by adding 2 or 3 dried peppers (but not the ones that have already been fried!). Serve immediately!<\/em> <\/div>\n
