Kung Pao Chicken

Kung pao chicken combines tender chicken with a spicy, tangy sauce and crunchy peanuts. While it's traditionally made with specialty ingredients like Sichuan peppercorns, Chinese black vinegar, rice wine, and dried red chilies, this simplified version uses easy-to-find staples from your local supermarket. It still delivers the same bold flavor and makes for a delicious weeknight dinner, especially with a side of rice.
