Who invented kung pao chicken?
Kung pao chicken, kung pao chicken is a traditional Sichuan dish. Stir-fried with diced chicken, dried peppers, peanuts, etc. Legend has it that it was named after the creation of Ding Baozhen, the chef of Bao Gong in the late Qing Dynasty. It is characterized by fresh and elegant fragrance, spicy but not dry, slightly sweet and sour. Ding Baozhen, a native of Pingyuan (now Zhijin), Guizhou Province, was a scholar in Xianfeng and paid attention to cooking. When he was the governor of Shandong Province, he hired dozens of famous chefs as home-cooked dishes, and often asked for a dish of "fried diced chicken" when entertaining guests. After being transferred to the governor of Sichuan, he introduced this dish to Sichuan, combined with the spicy customs of Sichuan, and improved it to entertain guests, which was very popular. The post-cooking method leaked out and was adopted by the restaurant. Ding Baozhen was once named the Prince of Shaobao (honorably called Bao Gong) in Qing Dynasty, and this dish was named "kung pao chicken". Now it has swept the country. There are slight differences in varieties from different places, such as Kung Pao diced meat, which turns chicken into diced meat. Ingredients: tender chicken breast 250.
