Comments on: Kung Pao Chicken https://www.closetcooking.com/kung-pao-chicken/ Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Sichuan cooking is about balance. with the heat and the Sour element from the Black Vinegar you surely need at least 1 or 2 TBSP Brown Sugar, not white sugar per batch. if you know Chinese cuisine you could read the recipe and know it wouldn’t be balanced and probably sour. The Addition of more Sesame Oil would help as well. Keep up the good work. This comment was only meant to help. if you live in a large city I would recommend going to a used book store and hunt down some Authentic Cookbooks instead of trusting in the internet. there are some hidden gems out there.

I dice up carrots, celery, bell pepper and zucchini and add it in. I usually add a ton more ginger and garlic than called for and triple the sauce. Super yummy. Thanks for the recipe.

No Dou Ban Jiang is listed. ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED to make this dish. Dou Bang Jiang is a bean paste in chili oil. Anyone worth their salt includes this item in this dish. Don’t make it without it. Google Souped Up Recipes for a more legit recipe.

I don’t see this listed as an ingredient, or any mention of a marinade. Am I missing something?

Same, we made this today and it was extremely salty and gross. Nothing like hung Patrick and I have had before. I have loved everything else from closet cooking so I’m not sure what went wrong. We used all the correct amounts.

Just looking through it, you’ll know it’s delicious and flavorful; its colorful too! The kids loved it. Glad I had bought an authentic light soy sauce at Karman Foods, the taste is absolutely fantastic!

I went to 3 stores and could not find the dried chilies. I had one on hand so I threw in some fresh serrano chiles and fresh red chile peppers. I also added some snow peas for a little bit more vegetable content. Turned out delicious! Beautiful too.
