(909 posts)Not exactly authentic, as Kung Pao Chicken is a meat dish and should have a second vegetable dish to accompany it. But I have green onions, wayyy too much cauliflower (from the Farmer's Market) and a lot of carrot, and only one wok. I'm feeling lazy. Of course, I'm including peanuts as well.
It's also not authentic because it's in the style of a half-storefront restaurant that was across from DH's workplace at the time. As near as I can figure, the cook was from Northern China and reversed the proportions of hoisin and brown bean sauce. It's a bit sweeter than the usual, but still spicy. It's really good.
Peach gingerbread for dessert.

Will enjoy the other half for dinner.
Enjoy!

(1,596 posts)Steam-fried in evoo and veggie broth: chopped onions, red bell pepper, minced garlic and ginger. When almost done I added sliced Asian eggplant and continued cooking until done. Air-fried tofu cubes and Pataks Jalfrezi curry sauce were added and the dish simmerd for a couple more minutes. Served over brown basmati rice with chopped scallions on top. Cheers!🥂
