by member: cjbbw  Kung Pao Chicken
A healthy version of this universal favorite Asian dish.
Ingredients
Directions
- Combine vinegar, soy sauce and sugar in a small bowl and set aside.
- Combine chicken and cornstarch in a small bowl and toss to coat. Shake off excess and discard.
- Heat sesame oil in wok over medium heat, add chicken and stir fry 5-7 minutes or until no longer pink inside. Remove chicken from wok.
- Add celery to wok and stir fry about 3-5 minutes until crisp tender. Remove from wok.
- Add green onions, garlic, red pepper flakes (optional) and powdered ginger to the wok and stir fry for 15 seconds. Add the reserved sauce to the wok.
- Return chicken and celery to the wok and coat with sauce. Stir in roasted peanuts. Heat thoroughly.
- Top with additional green onions if desired and serve with white rice.
- Note: you can substitute Splenda for the sugar without much change to the flavor.

I didn't know what to expect. Just wanted to try something new. This was so good I had it for dinner then again for breakfast the next day. The way the flavor and the crunch of the celery mixed with the sauce was addictive. Will make again soon.

This was very good, although I did make a few changes. I only used 1 cup of celery, added 1 cup of diced red bell pepper, added a can of mushrooms, and substituted Stevia for the sugar.

Excellent dish! I tried to only have one serving (not sure how much that is anyway) so had to allow 1 1/4 in my journal. I did cut 2 cups of celery and added 1/2 red bell pepper. Very good :)

This was good...decided to cut celery in half and throw in some broccoli...reserved half the "stir fry portion and added vegetarian "chicken" for my kids who are vegans....nice recipe cjbbw!

I really liked it but my husband thought it was too much celery and left most of that on his plate. Next time I will try cutting that back and adding a diced green and red pepper or something.

My husband had 2 servings and my youngest, when scrounging for leftovers, asked "When did you order take out?" I'll take that as her thumbs up as well.
