Skinnymixer’s Kung Pao Chicken in SkinnyAsia is hot but the good kind of hot! Spicy, tingling from the Szechuan pepper and full of flavour – this dish from SkinnyAsia is fast and easy to make.
This Chicken Kung Pao can pack a punch in the heat department! With all the chilli based dishes in SkinnyAsia we recommend starting with the lower range of chilli if cooking for anyone sensitive to spice.
What you will need to make Kung Pao Chicken:
- Szechuan Peppercorns – Szechuan peppercorns or Sichuan peppercorns are berries from the ash tree used in Chinese Sichuan cuisine, known for their spiciness and tongue-numbing quality. They are kept whole in this dish, however you could give them a quick blitz if desired.
- Dried chillies – You can buy dried chillies at Asian supermarkets, sometimes you can find them in the major supermarkets. Just watch out if you don’t know how hot your chillies are! Watch out for the super hot dried chillies from Coles!
- Skinnymixer’s Stock Concentrate – this is the secret flavour boost & shouldn’t be skipped!
