Kung Pao Chicken

Overview

Kung Pao Chicken is a very representative dish in Sichuan cuisine. Unlike most Sichuan dishes, which are spicy, it is slightly spicy and slightly sweet, which is suitable for most people's tastes. My daughter loves this dish very much. Of course, I reduced the amount of oil and sugar when making this dish, because my family doesn’t like greasy and sweet food, so I added a little sugar just to enhance the freshness. My daughter said the Kung Pao Chicken I made last time was too small and difficult to pinch. Today I specially cut it into larger pieces. After it was done, my daughter thought it was very delicious and went well with meals.
