Xiaoye version of Kung Pao Chicken

Overview

I don’t really like to cook overly complicated dishes. If it’s too troublesome, I always have to make a lot of determination before cooking. There was no food left in the evening, but there was still a piece of chicken breast left in the refrigerator. It was the leftover fried chicken fillet last time. There happened to be some leftover peanuts from the day before yesterday, but they were a little overcooked. So I decided to make Kung Pao Chicken. Although there are many steps, the method is actually super simple.
