Sichuan Cooking

Chinese New Year and Kung Pao Chicken

February 5, 2019 by Christian Gott 1 Comment

My Kung Pao Chicken

You make real thing from stir-fried soy marinated chicken, leeks and raw peanuts. Your flavour comes from Sichuan peppercorns and red chillies. They are first heated in hot oil with perhaps some ginger and garlic. Then you serve the finished dish with simply steamed rice.
