How To make Chicken Chunks with Peanuts in Spicy Sauce (Kung Pao)
Ingredients
1/2
cup
peanuts, raw
3
cup
oil, peanut
2
each
chicken, breasts
1
each
egg, white
1 1/2
tablespoon
water chestnut flour
SAUCE:
4
each
onions, green
2
each
garlic, cloves
1
tablespoon
ginger, root, minced
1/2
cup
stock, chicken
1/2
tablespoon
oil, sesame
1/2
tablespoon
vinegar, chinese, red
1/2
tablespoon
soy sauce, dark
1 1/2
teaspoon
chili paste, with garlic
1
tablespoon
sherry, dry
1
sugar, pinch
1
cornstarch, paste
Directions:
Preparation: Trim ends off green onions and cut light green and white part into 1 inch sections. Mix all other sauce ingredients in 2-quart saucepan. Reserve.
Pull skin off breasts, then pull chicken meat from bones. Slice meat into 1 inch strips, then crosswise to make 1 inch chunks. In bowl large enough to hold chicken, add egg white to water chestnut flour. Beat mixture with a single chopstick (not an egg beater or whisk). Stir chicken pieces into egg mixture to coat thoroughly. Marinate 5 minutes.
Note: water chestnut flour gives a lighter crust than cornstarch, though the latter may be substituted.
Deep-frying: Heat cooking oil in wok or deep-fryer to medium heat. Fry peanuts until they are a light tan color; if a test peanut browns quickly, turn down heat. Remove peanuts with strainer or slotted spoon; drain on paper towel or paper bag. Reserve.
Turn up heat slightly for chicken. Test a chunk first: chicken should raise to surface immediately & brown in about 2 minutes. Deep-fry coated chicken chunks until golden brown. Deep-fry no more than 8 chunks at a time. Use long chopsticks or spatula to keep pieces separate while they are frying. Remove with long chopsticks or slotted spoon. Reserve.
Sauce: While deep-frying chicken, heat sauce to simmer. Add green onions & peanuts about a minute before serving. At the last minute, add chicken pieces to sauce, mix quickly & serve.

This dish originates from the Sichuan province of China. It’s sweet, sticky and spicy sauce is an ideal coating for crispy nuggets of chicken. Traditional recipes call for Chinese black vinegar for the sharpness it adds. If you can’t track it down, you could possibly swap with balsamic vinegar or apple cider vinegar, to achieve the sharpness this dish requires.
You'll need:
For the chicken:
2 egg whites
3 tbsp cornflour
1 tsp sesame oil
500g/1.1lbs chicken thighs, skinless, boneless and cut into scant 3cm pieces
500ml/2 ¼ cups rapeseed or canola oil
For the sauce:
8 Chinese Red Peppers or Tianjin peppers (alternatively, use one red chilli, finely sliced)
6 cloves garlic, finely grated
6 spring onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1 thumb sized piece ginger, finely grated
75g/½ cup roasted unsalted peanuts
2 tbsp Cornflour
50ml/¼ cup Shaoxing rice wine
50ml/¼ cup soy sauce
50ml/¼ cup chicken stock
2 tbsp/¼ cup Chinese black vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp sugar
Salt
To serve:
Cooked basmati rice
