How to make Kung Pao Chicken, Made in China, follow this cooking video step by step. The exact recipe is shown below, the local Sichuan local chef told me, as found in Chengdu, true Chinese food!
foodrangin
For the wok:
2 boneless high quality chicken breasts
20 grams of garlic and ginger (about 5 cloves and an equivalent amount of ginger)
3 Chinese onions, chop about 30 grams worth
20 kernels of Sichuan peppercorn
Around 20 grams of chopped dried chilies, preferably Sichuan variety (at least 10 individual chilies, seeds removed)
Roasted peanuts, the more the better, according to what you like
For the marinade, he made it without giving exact amounts, but approximately use this:
2 pinches of salt
1 pinch of white pepper powder
1 pinch of chicken bouillon powder
~1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
~1 tablespoon rice cooking wine, you can use Shoaxing rice wine or regular cooking wine. In chinese it's 料酒, liaojiu
1 egg white
1 large pinch of cornstarch
For the sauce:
5 grams salt, 1 teaspoon
10 grams MSG, 2 teaspoons (OPTIONAL, not recommended)
10 grams chicken bouillon powder, 2 teaspoons
4 or 5 teaspoons of sugar
10 or 20 ml black vinegar, depending on how sweet you like it
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
Wet corn starch, 2 tablespoons, you can use cornstarch and water.
and then add a little more water to the sauce
I found this local Chengdu restaurant right on the street offering all the classic Sichuan food, and asked the chef to show me how to cook his local Kung Pao Chicken. This is not a Chinese street food, this is Chinese "jiachangcai", home cooked food. The flavour was spicy, numbing, and sweet, and the chicken was really tender and soft.

HUGE THANKS to ExpressVPN for offering all Food Ranger viewers 3 months free and 49% off their yearly package using this link: ExpressVPN.com/Thefoodranger . Travelers need ExpressVPN to stay safe online and to unblock any site. I personally use it for Netflix, even while at home in Canada, but also while traveling to unblock content and episodes that are geoblocked, and I also use it for security, because airport wifi and hotel wifi is often very insecure, leaving my data vulnerable. By connecting to one of their servers around the world, it’s just like my computer or phone is in that location, and all data sent while connected to their VPN is secure, safe, and private from others to see, so I know that my data won’t be hacked or looked at by others. Thanks so much for watching, and we have tons more videos coming up for you! Please leave me a comment below letting me know what you thought about this episode, thanks so much!!!

I learned more about how to properly prepare Kung Pao chicken in this video than my years bumbling in the kitchen to recipes found on the internet. The prep cook's presentation was excellent and I like how he told us everything he was doing at each step and for what reason. I'll definitely give this one a shot. Can you gain this kind of access to other kitchens? This was so informative!

+Southpaw Scientist Hi! Yes, those videos are on the whiteboard planned out right now just finding the time, they will come! Thanks for your thoughts!
I made this (just with a lot less oil and flour instead of cornstarch because I didn't have any on hand) and it tasted almost like the one I usually get at my favourite Chinese place. Great recipe, in case you want to try it. It really tastes authentic!
This is the real deal! Allowed into a real Chinese kitchen. So many times Chinese food is surrounded by mystery and protected from prying eyes. Please do alot more of these Trevor! I loved the way the chef broke it down and simplified it. Please do dumplings next. I make good ones at home but would love to see the start to finish on them by a master Chinese chef. From the flour to the fillings of different types.
Great! Keep em coming. Love to see authentic recipes.

Take a bow Trevor for a superb Foodie vid on Authentic Kung Pao Chicken.Excellent video.production values,and recipe follow up.Just forgot the USD$ price this time,which we luv to see.All the best,ur admiring fan,phil
How exciting to actually go into the kitchen and see it made. Its nice to know that this is a real Chinese dish and not some made-up North American dish. Having said that, I do make this dish but really cheat, in your eyes, by using VH brand General Tao bottled sauce into which I have ground up and added schezuan peppercorns. Your version looks more delicious. Thanks for sharing Trevor.

Great video. Around 10 months ago I learnt how to make this dish from research on the web...and thought, jeeez if I was in China I'd go into a place and watch them. And now I just have! In Sichuan how sticky is the brown sauce? I always found different places to have varying levels of stickiness level.
@yicheng7457
8 жыл бұрын
The stickiness of the soy source depends on what type of dish you are cooking. In China, the most commonly used two types are called Laochou and Shengchou. We usually use Shengchou to cook stir fry dish, because it's less sticky. And we use Laochou to cook meat. It's more sticky and it will give the meat a nice color. So if you want to cook meat, you can buy the sticky one with darker color.:)
