Kung Pao Chicken Diced is a traditional and famous dish in Sichuan. Legend has it that it was created by the chef of Prince Shao Bao Ding Baozhen during the late Qing Dynasty. It is said that Ding Baozhen has always maintained a simple lifestyle. Sometimes when he returned to the house when he was busy with official business, the kitchen figured out the adults 'temperament and would grab some ready-made diced chicken, chili, peanuts, etc. in the kitchen, stir-fry them in the pan and serve them, which was very popular with Lord Ding. After he entered Sichuan to become an official, his kitchen also accompanied him from Shandong. He saw that Tianfu peanuts were no inferior to Shandong peanuts. They were combined with Sichuan's spicy customs and improved them, adding a little sugar to the fresh taste. Lord Ding praised this move. Officials, relatives and friends who came to Ding Mansion for a banquet also praised the unique flavor of diced chicken. Since Ding Baozhen was once awarded the title of Prince Shaobao (respectfully known as Gong Bao), this dish has since been nicknamed "Gong Bao Chicken Dined" and has since become popular across the country until today.
