2. kung pao chicken was created by Ding Baozhen, Governor of Shandong and Governor of Sichuan in the Qing Dynasty. He has a good knowledge of cooking, likes to eat chicken and peanuts, and especially likes spicy food. When he was an official in Shandong, he ordered his chef to change the Shandong dish "Fried Chicken with Sauce" into spicy stir-frying. Later, when he was governor of Sichuan, he popularized this dish and created a delicious dish that fried chicken, red pepper and peanuts.

3. This delicious dish was originally Ding Jia's private kitchen, but it became well known and became known as kung pao chicken. The so-called "Gong Bao" is actually the honorary title of Ding Baozhen. Ding Baozhen ruled Shu for ten years and made many achievements. He died in the eleventh year of Guangxu. In recognition of his achievements, the Qing court posthumously awarded the "Prince Taibao". "Tai Zi Tai Bao" is one of the "Gong Bao".

4. So, in memory of Ding Baozhen, this dish he invented was named "kung pao chicken". Because this dish is so widely spread, there are many different practices in various places, and there is even a "Kung Pao Diced Meat" that turns diced chicken into diced meat.
