The host had a brainwave and replied, "This dish is nameless. Since adults like it, it is called kung pao chicken." The name of the dish comes here again. The characteristics of this dish are: pale white and green. Golden and mixed; Fresh and tender, slightly spicy and crispy. Pork can also be used as raw material, so it is called Kung Pao diced meat.
