Signature crunch in Kung Pao dishes.
What it is
Kung Pao Chicken is defined by its contrast of tender chicken and crunchy peanuts. Use already-roasted, unsalted peanuts and add them at the very end — cooking them in the sauce softens the crunch. If you must cook them in, under-fry them slightly first.
