Making asian food at home always has me a bit intimidated. However, this easy Kung Pao chicken recipe is so simple that is perfect for the home cook and is sure to become a family favorite. You need just a few simple ingredients that you cook and mix together for a tasty meal. This recipe is wonderful when you serve with a side of rice. You can also add some sriracha sauce to spice things up.
If you don’t want to steam the vegetables, you can instead add the vegetables to the chicken while it’s getting cooked. The full printable recipe is below. This recipe is great to use up the chicken I purchase in bulk from Zaycon Foods.
