Kung pao chicken is I think, one of the easiest Chinese chicken dish you can cook. And on this recipe, the ingredients and procedures are simplified so you can make a very quick Chinese chicken dish for your dinner or lunch. To describe kung pao chicken, it is a spicy sweet stir-fried Chinese dish made with chicken, veggies, chili peppers. It is also known as Gong Bao or Kung Po in its traditional Chinese name but the popular Kung Pao chicken is a westernize version. In this recipe, the amount of red chili flakes are at minimum because not everyone like spicy dishes but you can adjust the amount. You can also use chopped dried red chilies if red chili flakes is not available.

      Hi. Is there an alternative for the rice wine vinegar, something that is widely available in the local stores perhaps? Thank you.

        Hi Hot pie, if can find rice vinegar instead of rice wine vinegar, as far as I know they are basically the same. You can also substitute it with apple cider vinegar according to the site cookinglight dot com.
