How to make kung pao chicken:

kung pao chicken is a highly addictive stir-fried chicken with the perfect combination of salty, sweet and spicy flavour!

First, you’re going to marinate chicken pieces in a mixture of cornstarch, baking soda (YES) and Chinese wine (or sherry or rice wine. You can also use vinegar!) Then you’re going to quickly fry them in hot oil before finishing them off in the stir-fry with other ingredients. The cornstarch/soy/wine marinade not only provides amazing flavour to the chicken, it acts like a protective coating which seals moisture inside the chicken, creating beautiful golden edges while preventing the chicken from overcooking.

The perfect time to prepare your sauce is while your chicken is marinating. Having everything ready before you start a stir fry is essential — and the sauce is the most important part! Well, besides the chicken.

Once your chicken is done, add in your sauce and watch it bubble and turn into a beautiful, slightly thick and silky sauce, coating each piece of chicken perfectly.

There are 6 main ingredients in the sauce to make the perfect Kung Pao Chicken:

Chicken broth or stock (use low sodium) — you can also use water if you don’t have any broth on hand! Light soy — use light or low sodium if you can. Regular soy creates a really salty sauce for this recipe. Dark Soy Sauce — adds beautiful colour and flavour to the sauce! Hoisin sauce — more depth of flavour! Chinese black vinegar — or a good quality balsamic vinegar can be used instead. Chinese wine (Shaoxing) — to substitute you can use any of the following: dry sherry, gin, rice wine vinegar, apple...

The staff has problem in terms of communication. First, i asked if they have squid, the staff pointed to the mango chicken, then i used the term calamari, maybe that she can understand, but she still pointed to the mango chicken. I eventually just let it be. There was an older lady who came first before me and she just cancelled the order because the staff couldn't understand her. They looked like they did not know what they were doing or understand what people were saying. There were two of us who ordered and they only gave 1 fork. I asked for a pair of spoon and fork for the two of us and the cashier even sounded annoyed and sarcastic when i repeated myself as she couldn't hear me or maybe understand me. She was like "i know i see it". If she knows, then why didn't she get it the first time. Why are they so stingy with utensils? And why sound so condascending? I am asian myself and we have attitudes in terms of customer service, different from Canada , but there is a point where you have to adjust to where you are having your business, one should adjust to the norms and ways of approaching customers. The customer is NOT always right, but there...

Well I just got a call from the wife telling me about her experience and it was not pleasant. For one she had ordered and paid for an item and was told that it will be a 10min wait for the item to be filled. 10mins went by and then she went up and was told it was going to be another 7mins. My wife couldn’t wait any longer and was asked for a refund. A big stink was made in front of other customers and THEN one of the employees SPAT in the food out of anger!!!!! Infront of everyone!!! Funny thing is my wife told her oh well that wasn’t my order and the person who’s order it was was disgusted and said she will be contacting health and safety. So needless to say everyone who witnessed it decided not to order from there and left. So if you care about what you put in your mouth I would highly stay away from this place. That’s just f@$&ing gross! Just imagine what they do behind closed doors. I will personally be paying them a visit to give them a peace of my mind and guaranteed it will be during a busy day. I’m...
