Shanghai Hunan Chicken

"The owner of the Chinese restaurant in our town was nice enough to show me how to make his Hunan chicken (my favorite!) when they sold the restaurant in December, 2012. He used a wok over a huge gas flame and whipped this up in about 3 minutes! Americans will have to make do with a saute pan, and I'm sure a stove won't cook nearly as fast as his wok on a flame. I hope I remembered most of his recipe!"

  • Scoop the chicken out with a slotted strainer and set aside.
  • Pour the hot oil into a container.
  • Add the 1/2 cup water and heat to boiling. Dump in all the vegetables at the same time and stir around for about 30 seconds.
  • Dip the vegetables out with a strainer. Pour off any remaining water.
  • Put the sauce ingredients into the empty pan. Heat and stir together well.
  • Add the chicken and vegetables back into the sauce and stir around until well coated. If it looks too dry, add a little more soy sauce.

  1. The name you are looking for is chili oil. This recipe was great.. I doubled the sauce but be warned unless you like extreme fire do not double the chili oil when doing so. The only ingredient that seemed to be missing from this fantastic dish was ginger. So I added 1 tsp of ginger powder to my doubled sauce. Awesome!!!!
