as a chinese person usually these recipes look really bad, but your recipe is actually really good! Not completely authentic but at least it will taste delicious! Some tips though: 1. For stir fried food, you dont have to peel the ginger if you give them a good wash (the leftovers last longer too!) Also, if you don’t want too many overpowering chunks of ginger, slice them thickly instead of mincing them and just fish them out by the end, the flavours will still infuse! 2. For your chicken marinade, add around half an egg white as well, this will actually tenderize the chicken and give it a nicer texture just like a good Chinese takeout. 3. Add half the spring onions when you cook the vegetables, this will release more fragrance into the oil instead of almost “boiling” them at the end! Enjoy!!
This is awesome! I want to cook Chinese at home but all the good recipes I've seen require a few too many special ingredients. This feels like the perfect baby steps towards that and easy for me to try!
The way he lives in his personal life is between him and God. It's none of our business. I love your personality, love the way you teach us to cook, love your smile and happiness.
I doubled this recipe for 4 adults - we all really enjoyed it!! I made it with what was in the fridge/pantry so I used chili flakes (1.2tsp), grated the ginger, used a dry white wine and added broccoli florets. I will be adding this dish into the rotation, it's not often that a new recipe gets a thumbs up from everyone at the table. Thanks for a tasty weekday meal that comes together easily. Keep up the great videos!
I just had Kung pao chicken tonight from my takeout. I can't imagine living somewhere without Chinese takeout. I understand living in a town that is small with hardly any stores I know I pass through it on the way to Waterbury to visit my grandmother and family. And I say to my self Hello John and Brian lol. Glad you started making your own in this case. Your food looks amazing John as always!
I love that the double virgo energy just disappears for savory recipes. We're piping tiny flowers and tracing circles or parchment for dessert, but here? Throw it at the bowl, it's dinner time! Honestly, I adore it.
I made John’s Kung Pao Chicken for dinner tonight. My family LOVED it! So much better than our local restaurant! Keep cooking John. This is my absolute favorite RUclips cooking show.
Your channel amazes me. I am an alright cook, but when I follow your recipes, my family goes crazy for your cooking. I am inspired by you and I am going to try this recipe. Thank you so much you are the greatest!
This was really good and not hard to make at all. I added 2 cloves of garlic because, well, we love garlic. Those peanuts make the dish. My only criticism is the recipe on the website calls for 3 tbsp. of sugar in the sauce and the video says 2. I went with the 3 (I had already put it in before I realized the difference). Next time I’m increasing the recipe so we have more leftovers! This will definitely become a staple in our house. Thanks, John. You’ve never steered me wrong.
Actually regarding bell peppers French chefs will never use green bell peppers as they are bitter let alone the fact that they are NOT ripe! Each colour is indicative of its ripeness with red being the absolute best and the sweetest !
Here in Hong Kong it's usually cashews instead of peanuts, but why not both? And if you want to keep them crunchy, add them in right before dishing. BTW, salt in soy sauce not only adds flavour but acts as a preservative. That's why low-sodium soy sauce contains other chemicals that extend its shelf life. If that concerns you, use regular soy sauce in smaller quantities.
This looks good! I love cooking Kung Pao and one ingredient I always use is black bean paste. It has a rich salty flavor. I also sometimes mix in some chili paste with garlic.
What do they say in Wayne’s world? I’m not worthy. Been watching RUclips cooking videos for ages, and totally wanna start my own done day. But damn, this is upper level! One of the best I’ve seen. No wonder you have 3.5 million subscribers!
100%. At first I was willing to give John the benefit of the doubt and assume "exactly the same" was only referring to the bell pepper plant and not how they taste. Then he made that comment about "some people" thinking they taste different. Red, orange and yellow bell peppers are sweet. Green bell peppers taste like sadness.
What led me to this video was the question on google "what's the classic dish for Sichuan Noodles" and the answer was Kung Pao Chicken. I clicked into this one since I'm familiar with this channel. So I wonder if using noodles is more authentic to this dish. Either way, rice or noodles, it certainly looks delicious. Thank you, John.
@@Amused_Comfort_Inc I think he meant for this channel’s recipes specifically. I know I don’t usually have the ingredients for most recipes I watch here
I just made this for my family and it turned out great! So far, I’ve made orange chicken and Kung pao chicken from Preppy Kitchen! Also, broccoli cheese soup!
Hi John, you did another great video! I love kung pao chicken, I can’t wait to try it this weekend. You inspired me to bake desserts myself! I hope that one day I will be as good as you! :) By the way, I love how professional you are and your jokes are awesome!
12/20/21: Hi John. I made this dish today (without the peanuts) and it turned out incredibly delicious. Love your cooking tutorials, I'm a fan, so I'll be on the lookout for many more. TFS and Happy Holidays!
I'm glad you didn't add celery. I know it often adds extra flavor but I never did care for it in Kung Pao. You get your crunch from the peanuts anyway.
Hi, John! I have subscribed to your channel straight away after watching the carrot cake and cinnamon rolls videos. You are lovely, humor & funny and I don't want to miss any of your video from now on. 😁👍
instead of going shopping to try and find those chiles, Can you possibly subsiture using ground chili pepper instead? Since most people have that ingredient in their cupboard? I have never cooked with whole dried chili peppers and find it very intimidating Thanks for such a nice looking recipe. I would love to try it sometime
This is going on the list of things to make. Your Orange Chicken and Bourbon Chicken were both delicious. I'm keeping an eye out for you to do Lemon Chicken.
Haha...I believed that article too.About different colors at different stages.It’s not true 😀Most bell peppers start out green.And of course it will change color at different stages.But the different colors are different varieties

Thank you so much for these tips. I will use them when I make this.
Can you please create your own Chinese cooking channel
Notes taken!
Great tips the egg white and the ginger my dad did the same thing on other dishes he made.
This is awesome! I want to cook Chinese at home but all the good recipes I've seen require a few too many special ingredients. This feels like the perfect baby steps towards that and easy for me to try!
I just love this guy. And the way he talks about his husband and kids just the best not to mention he's always smiling
me too!!

is that Brian he keeps calling, his husand ?
The way he lives in his personal life is between him and God. It's none of our business. I love your personality, love the way you teach us to cook, love your smile and happiness.
I so love that you don’t edit out your mess ups!
It makes it more realistic
@@craftytester-testinglifeha3299 agree!!
I love them.. He's hysterical I didn't notice the sauce spilled out until the instant slow replay. I laugh every time he forget to plug in the mixer.
I love it too! It makes me less scared to try the recipe!
The best bits
I only watched one vid and now hooked. His style, no stupid music, a smile worth at least a pot roast and dishes to die for.

Same! My husband asks that I follow John’s recipe completely and watch the video because it turns out perfect and he raves about it
This was really good and not hard to make at all. I added 2 cloves of garlic because, well, we love garlic. Those peanuts make the dish.

I lived in China for nine years my dad know how to make Kung pao chicken ,but I want to try this recipe it looks so good !
Actually regarding bell peppers
French chefs will never use green bell peppers as they are bitter let alone the fact that they are NOT ripe!

Yes, the green bell peppers taste awful.
Exactly!
I know logically the red ones should taste the sweetest, but I think the orange ones are sweeter. Might be from where the ones I eat are grown.
Aww! 🥰 I love how you include Brian in your videos, it shows how much you love him! I feel the love! ❤️ Blessings to you both and your family 😊 🙏💙
Here in Hong Kong it's usually cashews instead of peanuts, but why not both? And if you want to keep them crunchy, add them in right before dishing.

Indonesia also use peanuts for this, cashews only used at fancy restos.
Here is a big/main producer of cashews but we dont take it fussy
I love cashews and keep them in my pantry. I'll add instead of peanuts. Thank you!
Your orange chicken recipe was delicious, when I bake I only use your recipes and tell everyone about your channel 🥰 Cant wait to try this!
Thanks for the great tip about skinning ginger. I'm loving your recipe videos.
This looks good! I love cooking Kung Pao and one ingredient I always use is black bean paste. It has a rich salty flavor. I also sometimes mix in some chili paste with garlic.
My favorite Chinese dish ever. Thank you!
Today,I did this recipe..everyone loved it,was delicious,every flavor was perfect in taste,thank you preppy kitchen!!!
Oh Wow, Kung pow, it's been a while, so versatile!
It always makes me smile! 😁
What do they say in Wayne’s world? I’m not worthy. Been watching RUclips cooking videos for ages, and totally wanna start my own done day. But damn, this is upper level! One of the best I’ve seen. No wonder you have 3.5 million subscribers!
You can't tell me that green and red bell peppers don't taste different. They are SO different
True
I wonder if you are blindfolded if they do
100%. At first I was willing to give John the benefit of the doubt and assume "exactly the same" was only referring to the bell pepper plant and not how they taste. Then he made that comment about "some people" thinking they taste different. Red, orange and yellow bell peppers are sweet. Green bell peppers taste like sadness.
It's the same fruit, but red bell peppers ripen longer and definitely have a sweeter taste
@@Ch3tSt3adman weird cause to me the yellow ones are sweet and the red and green ones belong on pizza LOL
Thank god you posted!! Love, love, LOVE your content John!!
I did this kung pao chicken and let me tell you I loved it. Great flavor and is very simple. Fantastic thank you. I will try orange chicken next week.
Also, Can you do a video on your HOLY GRAILS/must haves for your kitchen?! Please
Yes yes and YES
New recipe will try it and will share my experience 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
I am so excited I found your site. So thank you for your recipes. xoxo 🧄🧄

Yay I finally have all the ingredients for a recipe I am totally making this for dinner tonight
If you have the ingredients for this you prob have ingredients for a bunch of recipes 😅
SAME 🥳🥳🥳
Let me know how it was .
@@Amused_Comfort_Inc I think he meant for this channel’s recipes specifically. I know I don’t usually have the ingredients for most recipes I watch here
Yes!! I love how you left stuff all over the bench. Very relatable.
This recipe is better than takeout! Thank you so much John! Your channel helps me in the kitchen, a lot.
Gotta add that egg white to properly "velvet" the chicken so it stays moist and juicy after cooking it.
Made it tonight and it turned out absolutely delicious!!
I just made this for my family and it turned out great! So far, I’ve made orange chicken and Kung pao chicken from Preppy Kitchen! Also, broccoli cheese soup!
That looks so good John! I enjoyed orange chicken, and this looks so good as well! 😋
Brian is really supportive I like him.
The thing about the peppers blew my mind...amazing
This looks amazing, John! You're an excellent teacher.

It’s one of my favourite dishes in this world!! ❤
Fabulous cook and explainer!
Enthusiasm is really appreciated!

All of your dishes are amazing!
Just LOVE your recipes!

Just made the dish for my dad on Father’s Day! It was delicious and spicy, perfect! 🤯🌶
My family has a Wok pan and we love chinese food so I'm really excited to try this out! and I don't worry about leftovers; 9 people in the house. :)
I think you are adorable! Kung pao chicken is also my favorite Chinese food
I love the way you cook Chinese dishes , so cute 🥰
My dad loves kung pao, it looks like I will be making this for him!
Really versatile chef... the recipe is so good... lov'in it ..
My favorite Asian dish and I have made this a lot of times with and without nuts…thx for recipe 👏🏽👏🏽❤️ yum
12/20/21: Hi John. I made this dish today (without the peanuts) and it turned out incredibly delicious. Love your cooking tutorials, I'm a fan, so I'll be on the lookout for many more. TFS and Happy Holidays!
I just made this and it is absolutely DELICIOUS
Preppy you are genius and kind guy, keep it !!!!!!!!
John, you can also run the chili, then cut the top off and de-seed the chili to lower the heat from the chilies
I'm glad you didn't add celery. I know it often adds extra flavor but I never did care for it in Kung Pao. You get your crunch from the peanuts anyway.
Yummy cant wait to try
Looks fabulous! I’d add some water chestnuts too.. 😋
I LOVE those!!
I made this tonight. It was delicious! Thank you for sharing.
Looks awesome! Looking forward to making this. Thanks.
Hope you enjoy! Thank you!
The symphony of mincing garlic 👌👌👌👌😀
So excited for this one!! Can you make wonton soup and hot and sour soup? Yum!

Yummy, yum! Doing the air fryer way.

Hi john, first time to see you in chinese cuisine. I like the way you eat your dish with a spoon. It is so finess. 👍👍👍

I love this dish! Thank you for sharing :D
John! Bell pepper colors do taste different! I sweeeaaar. 😁
This is awesome 🤩👍
John the recipe looks great, but you might want to get a wok. All my stir fry dishes cook very well there.
I JUST Bought one!
You made such a beautiful cake in the tasty video :)
We made this tonight and it was perfect!
Yup I always increase the garlic but that sounds like a good amount...if they are big cloves!
Look very delicious 🤤 😋🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗
❤🎉 yummy, I can taste that, and I am drooling, on a different continent! 😂😂😂
I love the shade towards Brian in this lol
