Gong Bao Chicken

Gong bao is a dish of succulent chicken stir-fried with peanuts and spring onions in a rich, spicy sauce. The kick of chilli, tingle of Sichuan pepper and gentle sweet-sour sauce form a typical Sichuanese combination of flavours, and it's a great looking dish with a wonderfully complex flavour that belies how easy it is to actually make!

We decided to try the Gong Bao Chicken from the Noodle Legends as our first recipe in the book. Paired it with the Broccoli with Garlic and Plain Rice as suggested. So tasty, nice bit of heat to it, and fresh as well with the ginger. Will definitely be making again!

This was the first dish we made out of the Noodle legend book. As usual the recipe was easy to follow and made a great spicy dish. Looking forward to making more from the book.

I left out the peanuts as my wife doesn't like them in cooked foods. Absolutely delicious.
