Kung Pao is King. I absolutely love it. So of course I had to learn how to make it. It’s not as hard to make as you might think, which is good news. I can make it whenever the mood strikes. This is also very good with chicken, so if you want to, you can substitute it, you just have to adjust the cooking time for the chicken. Enjoy!
