Kung Pao Chicken

Kung Pao Chicken
[Kung Pao Chicken Diced] is one of the famous traditional dishes in Sichuan for a long time.
According to legend, during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Jinshi Ding Baozhen, who served successively as governor of Shandong and governor of Sichuan. He was once given the title of "Prince Taibao" and known as "Ding Gongbao." When Ding Gongbao first entered Sichuan, Sichuan people held a banquet. There was a dish of diced chicken fried with chili peppers, which was very popular with Ding Gongbao. When asked for the name of the dish, the owner told him "Gong Bao chicken diced" in order to please Ding Gongbao, so it has been passed down to this day.
