If you're craving the bold, spicy flavours of Panda Express's Kung Pao Chicken but fancy trying your hand at recreating it at home, you're in for a treat. This delightful dish marries tender chunks of chicken with crunchy peanuts and vibrant bell peppers, all enveloped in a rich, savoury sauce.

To make your very own version, start by marinating the chicken in soy sauce, sesame oil, and a touch of rice vinegar to infuse it with depth. Next, stir-fry the chicken until golden and crispy, then add garlic, ginger, and the colourful vegetables. The pièce de résistance is the sauce—a luscious blend of soy sauce, hoisin sauce, and a hint of sriracha for that signature kick.

Toss in roasted peanuts just before serving, and you’ll have a satisfying dish that can easily rival your favourite takeaway. Serve it over a fluffy bed of steamed rice or noodles, and enjoy the delightful balance of spicy, sweet, and crunchy textures right in the comfort of your own kitchen.
