I used to work at a Chinese restaurant as a delivery driver. My boss made the best kung pao chicken that I’ve ever had in my life (better than Kenji Lopez-Alt’s recipe, which I’ve made several times). He would never give me the recipe. Like, dude, really? I’m not gonna open up a Chinese restaurant! I’ve spent a long time trying to duplicate it. If I ever do crack the code, I’ll post the recipe.

    First of all, that looks delicious, would smash and ask for seconds.

    And second of all, not to be that guy, “kung pao” literally means peanuts. So it’s probably ok to just call this cashew chicken

      No, that’s actually good to point out. I would have used peanuts, but I’m allergic.
