Delicious! I used ~3/4 lb. boneless, skinless chicken thigh and added more vegetables. The sauce was perfect.

I made this for my son because he loves Kung Pao Chicken. It was delicious and he was amazed that I could cook this. Thank you so much for the recipe. I love your recipes.

In reply to Amy. I think roasted cashew is a lovely substitution :) Make sure to add it at the very end so they stay crispy. Happy cooking!

Looks wonderful! I am allergic to peanuts and almonds (all other nuts are fine); can you suggest a good substitution? Thanks!

Thank you for posting such good and authentic chinese recipes on the internet. I have tried a number of them with great success and I find your website an invaluable resource for someone looking to dive into chinese cooking. This recipe in particular is the one that I cook over and over again. I’ve cooked it so many times that I don’t even need to look at the recipe anymore. The birds of a feather kung pao is my favorite, but I haven’t ordered it since cooking this recipe.

Your recipes were one of the bright spots about living through the pandemic. I’m finally confident cooking Chinese food. Now I can make variations that work. Zucchini is a great addition to this recipe with the green pepper. Thanks again for making it all so easy to follow and introducing me to techniques that make all the difference.

In reply to Hendrik. Sorry for the confusion. The recipe yields 2 to 4 servings. I updated the website recently and some information didn't get transferred properly.

A full pound of meat for just 2 servings, really?

We have now made this three times. We absolutely love this dish and have worked it into our regular meal rotation. We make it exactly as described except we add a bit of ground up Szechuan peppercorns (prepped as you described in Dan Dan noodle recipe- fried and ground up) ). We made this addition because loved the flavour of the missed whole peppercorns in the stir fry but not their grittiness. The fried peppercorns removed from the oil in the first part of the recipe are ground up in our spice grinder and added to refrigerated jar for the next batch or for addition to Dan Dan noodles.
