I usually serve kung pao chicken over rice, but it’s also really nice to make it as a noodle stir-fry! Kung pao chicken is a classic Chinese takeout dish with chicken in a sauce that includes chilies and mouth numbing sichuan peppercorns. This recipe is basically just making the regular kung pao chicken and adding teh cooked noodles to the pan, mixing and cooking a bit more! You can easily make this meal in less that 30 minutes, so it’s perfect any day of the week, even busy work nights.
