Kung Bao Gee Ding

Diced Chicken with Pepper

6 tbsp peanut oil

Heat.

2 chicken breasts or 8-10 tenderloins (diced small)

1 egg white

2 tsp cornstarch or flour

1 tsp salt

garlic powder

ground mustard

Mix together. Pour into heated peanut oil. Fry for 1 to 3 minutes (until done). Remove from frying pan and drain excess oil back into pan.

1 green or red pepper (diced small)

4 oz water chestnuts (diced small)

4 oz bamboo shoots (diced small)

4 stalks green onions (diced small)

12 baby corns (chopped)

garlic

red pepper flakes

pepper

ground yellow mustard

msg (if you have it)

Mix together. Fry for about a minute or less in the hot pan of excess oil from the chicken.

1/2 tsp sugar

2 tsp white wine

1 tbsp soy sauce

(If you don't have white wine, double soy sauce)

Mix together and pour over veggies. Stir fry for 30 more seconds and add chicken.

At this point, you could be done. Throw it over rice and call it good.

I, on the other hand, was not done. I boiled some egg noodles and made a batch of sweet and sour sauce.

Sub Gum Tiem Shwin Tsup

Sweet and Sour Sub Gum Sauce

1 cup soup stock

3/4 cup sugar

1/2 vinegar

1 cup chopped mixed pickles, drained (I used bread and butter)

2 tbsp soy sauce

4 tsp cornstarch

Mix together. Boil, stirring constantly, and remove from heat when thickened.

Pour over egg noodles and pepper chicken. DONE!

Boy. This was fun. A lot of assembly and quick cook time. VERY delicious. I kept bugging Sam, asking him "Do you like this? Is it good?" He really enjoyed it! I, on the other hand, would have omitted half of the soy sauce. Soy sauce is a bit too salty for me.

In short--- this was a great first time recipe for any first time Chinese cooks. Easy. Quick. Be sure to assemble everything before hand. That way, you can get right to cooking.

On another note--- I entered a song contest! Please vote for me! Go to myairforcelife.com and look for the song "Come Home to Me" by Jenna W. One vote per day! Vote everyday! Contest ends May 23rd. I would truly appreciate your vote! Grand prize is a songwriting session with Thom Shepherd and a $2000 gift card to musician's friend (an online music store). I plan on using the gift card to purchase a baby grand digital piano if I win (and with your help, I will!)

Thank you so much. Enjoy your Chinese cooking! Have a great day!
