Kung Pao Chicken

Ingredients;

1 pound chicken cut into chunks
2 T white wine
2 T soy sauce
2 T sesame oil
2 T cornstarch dissolved in 2 T water
1 T hot chile paste
1 t white vinegar
2 t brown sugar
4 green onions chopped
1 T garlic chopped
1 can water chestnuts
4 oz. peanuts

I've made a couple different Kung Pao Chicken recipes of late, this is the best.  It's got a serious kick to it, but you can cut back on the chile paste and that will help.  We served it with white rice. 

Make marinade with 1 T wine, 1 T soy sauce, 1 T oil & 1 T cornstarch mixture.  Mix it all together and add chicken chunks.  Let it sit for about 30 minutes.

Mix remaining wine, soy sauce, oil, cornstarch mix, chile paste, vinegar, brown sugar.  Mix together then add green onion, garlic, water chestnuts & peanuts.

Remove chicken from marinade and cook on med/high until chicken is done.  Add it remaining ingredients let simmer simmer together until sauce thickens.
