Paul's Gong Bao Ji Ting (chicken) recipe













Let me share my Gong Bao chicken recipe. My cooking style is based on estimation of the amount of each ingredient needed.

Ingredients:
Chicken breast meat
Dried chilli
Cashew nuts
Ginger
Garlic
Onion
Capsicum
Light soya sauce
Sugar
Sesame oil
Corn starch
White pepper powder


Method:
Cut the chicken breast to small chunks.

Marinate the meat with light soya sauce, white pepper powder, sesame oil and corn starch for two hours. Do not put too much sesame oil and corn starch because the former will impart a bitter taste if added in large quantity while the latter will give a starchy texture. Corn starch serves to tenderise the meat.

Chop garlic, slice ginger and oinion, cut capsicum to bite-sized.

Warm cooking oil and stir fry cashew nuts till golden brown.

Fry dried chilli, chopped garlic, sliced ginger and onion sequentially when each has given off its fragrant.

Add marinated meat and stir fry till cook. Add light soya sauce and sugar to taste.

Fry capsicum quickly (since it can be eaten raw) and serve.

Bon appetit.
