Method

  • Heat Peanut Oil, and Sesame Oil in a wok.
  • Add Garlic and Ginger, quickly saute.
  • Stir Fry Chicken Strips until slightly browned.
  • Add Peanut Butter to Wok, stir Chicken Broth and Soy Sauce into Peanut Butter to dilute.
  • Add Kung Pao Sauce, Hoisin Sauce, Garlic Black Bean Sauce, Chili Garlic Sauce, Fish Sauce (see note below) Add Mushrooms, Snowpeas and Water Chestnuts.
  • Cook on medium heat about 5 min.
  • Serve over Linguine.
  • Note: We like this dish really spicy and add more of these sauces at the table after serving the kids.
  • The original recipe just called for Kung Pao Sauce and Sezchwan Sauce--I can never find Sezchwan Sauce and have to stockpile Kung Pao Sauce, so we rely on all of the sauces.
  • Of course, the dish is slightly different each time we make it.
