This recipe is inspired by the classic Chinese dish, kung pao chicken. Kung pao chicken is a dish made with chicken that is cooked in a spicy sauce made with Sichuan peppercorns. This recipe is a bit milder than the classic dish, but it still has all of the flavor. I first had kung pao chicken when I was living in China. I was immediately hooked on the dish, and I have been making it ever since. Over the years, I have experimented with different ingredients and techniques, and I have finally come up with a recipe that I think is perfect. This recipe is easy to make, and it is always a hit with my family and friends.
