Ingredients
- 1 1/2 boneless and skinless chicken breasts cut into small cubes
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 6 lices fresh ginger peeled
- 1/2 small red bell peppers cut into thin strips
- 8 dried red chilies seeded and slice into halves
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts
- 1 talk scallion cut into strips
- corn tortilla or flour tortilla
- 2 cups cabbage shredded
- cilantro for garnishing
- salsa optional
Marinade:
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
Sauce:
- 1 1/2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon apple cider vinegar preferred, or Chinese black vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Instructions
- Marinate the chicken in the marinade and set aside for 10 minutes.
- Mix all the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine well. Set aside.
- Heat a wok or skillet with the oil and stir-fry the ginger until fragrant. Add the red bell peppers and dried red chilies, and stir-fry until you can smell the spices. Then, add the chicken and stir-fry continuously until it turns opaque.
- Add the roasted peanuts and stir in the sauce. Once the sauce thickens and the chicken is fully cooked, add the scallions before transferring the Kung Pao Chicken to a serving platter.
- Assemble the tacos by adding Kung Pao Chicken to each one, then top with shredded cabbage and cilantro. If you want, you can add salsa, but I prefer to keep it on the side to cleanse my palate between tacos.
Notes
- To prepare Kung Pao Shrimp tacos, can you refer to my very popular Kung Pao shrimp recipe.
