Kung Pao chicken

Apparently I got it right, if a little watery.

3 large chicken breasts, cubed.

Marinade:
  • 4 teaspoons dark soy sauce
  • 4 teaspoons Ormonds rich cream sherry style wine
    This could probably be chinese cooking wine, but I couldn't find any when I first made it and have used sherry ever since.
  • 2 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 3 teaspoons cornflour

Mix into the cubed chicken, leave for 25-30 minutes.

Heat some olive oil
Cook the chicken
Remove from the wok

Heat more olive oil.
Cook
  • A tablespoon of crushed garlic
  • 1 tablespoon of masterfoods chilli paste

Then add:
  • 5-6 chopped spring onions
  • A 227g can of water chestnuts, chopped coarsely
  • A 400g packet of frozen watties chinese style wok creations stir-fry veges
  • A sauce made from:
    • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
    • 2 tablespoons of sherry
    • 1 teaspoon of brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon of sesame oil
  • A 70g packet of chopped peanuts

Cook it all for a bit and then add the chicken and reduce the volume of the liquid.

Serve over rice.
Nice flavour and not too hot. It just makes your eyes water a bit.
