Kung Pao Chicken
DESCRIPTION

Kung Pao Chicken is a spicy stir-fried dish featuring tender chicken breast, peanuts, and chili peppers. The chicken is marinated in a savory blend of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and Chinese cooking wine, then quickly sautéed with garlic and ginger. The result is a flavorful, slightly spicy dish with a satisfying crunch from the peanuts.

WINE PAIRING

Kung Pao Chicken, a spicy stir-fried dish with tender chicken, peanuts, and chili peppers, pairs well with a crisp white wine like Grüner Veltliner. The wine's high acidity and subtle spiciness complement the dish's bold flavors, while its light body balances the chicken's texture. Alternatively, a light-bodied, fruity red like Barbera can stand up to the spice and enhance the savory notes of the soy sauce and rice vinegar.
