Thanks so much for this video and recipe! How many ounces were the two chicken breast you used as all breasts are not created equal?

[@ladiacona]

I enjoy your videos so much. I love how you explain what the ingredients do, what they are for or how to substitute. Also, love that your videos are short and to the point. Thank you for the time you take in making these!

[@tamanamsudhir4576]

The presenter is sweet, explains everything nicely and does everything simply making it easy to learn the recipe. Thank you.

[@jaleh0811]

I have made this recipe with shrimp and another time with beef because it was what I had on hand and it came out delicious. Can't wait to try with chicken. Of all the kung pao chicken recipes I've seen on KZbin this one seems to be the best one and most restaurant quality. Everyone I've made it for has loved it. Thank you Seonkyoung love your videos.

[@adrianlindsaylohan]

Take a look at this recipe, it's even more "restaurant" quality. He is the most legit and popular Chinese chef on KZbin. Make sure to turn on the English captions too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXbOh56Ka66Ib68

[@jaleh0811]

adrianlindsaylohan wow, nice. Thank you for sharing!

[@dreamdivine401]

Did it taste like the restaurant?? We have different so many different recipe but none taste like the restaurant

My kitchen smells heavenly. That touch of sesame oil at the end is amazing this was my first take on the recipe and I love it.

[@BenIntentional]

Sesame oil for the win!

[@senseithao00]

she's always energetic and simple that's why I like her cooking style 😉.

[@jenniferkennedy9076]

I found your channel yesterday......I CANNOT stop watching!! The food looks delicious and easy and hubs and I think you are awesome!! I can't wait to make some of these recipes and he can't wait to eat them. You do a fabulous job with the videos....pls don't stop.....and don't listen to the handful of jerks out there who's lives are so miserable they need to bring someone else down while hiding behind their computer...losers....you've made us smile with every video!! And made our tummies growl !!

[@SonalsFood]

Love your relationship with your husband. You both are very sweet together. Stay blessed.

[@AztecWench]

I tried this last night with chicken and another batch with tofu. The flavors were good but became amazing the following day - the flavors had melded together perfectly. Thumbs up!!

[@Edgarmercadotv]

I love all your recipes, and above all, I love your story and who you are! Thanks for sharing, I don’t watch any other Asian food channels but yours. There’s no need! Thanks for sharing!

[@MikeTheBarber63]

The first time I had Kung Pao Chicken was when I was in college in Memphis TN (decades ago!) in a small restaurant called "Hing Wah". They added celery and carrots I assume to make the dish bulky so it cost less to make. I never saw any other restaurant do this, but I actually liked it since the vegetable additions made it less spicy overall which is fine by me! I like some spice, but not too hot! Your recipe videos are so well made and easy to follow or adapt to anyone's preferences. Great work as always. Thank you.

[@josephcirillo5292]

Excellent!!! Made this int a Wok I got for my birthday from my kids. Have made several dishes so far and this by far was the best. If you have all the exact ingredients, improvise. I substitued white wine vinegar, hoisin sauce and just regular soy saucee . I do recommed usig fresh garlic and fresh ginger though. You can definetly taste the difference. Will be making this again for sure. Hope to find some of the authentic ingredients to take it to the next level. TY!!!!

[@BenIntentional]

Ditto.

[@onward2727]

Cook it!!

[@kakis911]

That looks so good. I've tried about 10 of your recipes and they always come out perfect. Thanks for sharing them with us. Can you do a sushi burrito recipe please.

[@SeonkyoungLongest]

+kakis911 WOW!! That means HUGE to me!! Thank you for letting me know!! :-D ❤️ I'm actually working on the recipe for Sushi Burrito, it will be up this spring!! :-D

[@kakis911]

+Seonkyoung Longest Omg I can't wait. I saw your video when you went to San Francisco I believe that's where you guys eat it. It looked so good. Thanks

[@timanctil8225]

I found this recipe years ago and I've tried others... this is now my only kung pao recipe. It turns out great every time! 👍

[@ericanorton71]

Thank you for this recipe. I moved to an extremely rural area after living my entire life in a community with a high Asian population. I've had to learn to cook my favorite dishes, so thanks again, ma'am!

[@ChildofGOD_Remnant]

I love all your videos and my favorite part always is when you and your husband eat together, you guys are soo cute. 😍😍😊

[@chaosthao2009]

I love seeing your husband make his little appearances in your video at the end. You guys are so adorable together.

[@theplainjane681]

You're seriously spoiling me for choice with all of these amazing asian dishes!! So bringing my wok to uni and using your videos this year!! Thank you!!

[@thebestisalwaysyettocome]

Hi Chef Seonkyoung. It's the first time i see you and husband eating with the spoon, it's unusual in Asian Kitchen. So far, i made few of your recipes and i still don't believe it's me who did it. It taste like in the restaurant, of course it's much cleaner with best and fresh ingredients. Oh my Gosh! i can't stop cooking Asian food now it's addicting, but it's so convenient, cause i don't trust food in restaurant at this time of crisis. Thanks to you again, i'm improving . Best of luck and keep up the good work. Take good care of yourself and stay safe..:) :) :)

[@Risperdali]

This is one of my favourite dishes of all time. I have had lots of different versions of it, and most have been amazing

[@jamesme5236]

yeah..highlight is always when Jacob appears ..he is so supportive. love the dance😀

[@stever7401]

Brilliant! Just cooked and eaten this and perfect first time. My dried red chillies are extra hot so just used two and added some chopped red pepper (capsicum) for colour and texture. Delicious

[@BenIntentional]

Clever. Good call, there.

[@kaylacross1129]

Oh my goodness I have to try this! my hubby loves kung pao chicken, we just ordered Chinese earlier today since I don't know how to make this! I have my fingers crossed for a szechuan chicken recipe in the future

[@lvb160]

Love when Jacob comes in the video!! Your should make a video with him helping you cook.

[@thefauxmesticgoddess1901]

No She shouldnt. She seems meticulous & focused in the kitchen...if shes anything like me, another body & set of hands while im cooking is intrusive, & rather annoying. Leave him to taste testing...it works

[@lvb160]

+ChellySweets oh it's just my thought you can write your own comment this is just how I feel it's not about that it's what people want to see....

[@adahhabib677]

I agree. It would be cute seeing them cook together!

[@veshmahlalwah334]

i love seeing them together to i could watch your videos all day i would like to see jacob give you some compition in the kitchen. have a nice day everyone and keep up the good work.

[@1611Eric]

Am i the only one who starts to cry when Jacob is in the picture? That should be me, lol :)

[@Nickfooker]

Bet your husband is really happy everytime he finds out you're making a new video.

[@lawaspen]

I. Made this last. Night, I subbed in egg whites for the baking soda. This was F*****G delicious. The crunchy Szechuan peppercorns are amaze balls. Make this, don’t skip anything. I made it with leeks instead of onions. this is going in regular rotation

[@mrsks5399]

My husband and I love spicy foods.. we cook a lot and compared to most people around us we can handle very spicy food. I make this recipe often (with some modifications to make it low carb) and let me tell you... 3 tbsp chili and 1 tbsp Sichuan peppercorns is absolutely insane. 1 tsp of each is plenty hot and numbing. I have tried with half of what the recipe said and we both got sick, my husband even vomited later. Also, 1/2 cup chicken broth is way too much, I prefer to us 1/2 tsp of chicken base instead of having to cook down all that water at the end. Even though I had to change those few things it's still an awesome recipe, Thank you!!

[@Tellyfive]

This is the real deal. The color and flavors are exactly like the very best Chinese take out places.

[@TulipsToKiss]

I was debating whether or not I should order chinese and then you made this video!!! It's a sign!!!

[@heliosgnosis2744]

+TulipsToKiss now your going to the store and making it homemade because it tastes better? lol

[@TulipsToKiss]

exactly! lol

[@toranaga1969]

love it when Jacob is in the video having fun.

[@blazerstoner]

This is one of my favorite chinese dishes. I watched another channel's version, but I like yours so much better. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

[@arizonahd]

I have made this so many times over the years and now I am liking it and commenting lol.

[@sixzerozero3187]

She cooks better than the Chinese. No sugar, no artificial additives, good tasty (the addition of sichuan peppercorns and Chinese coriander).

[@Scott-rd3rt]

I made this last night using the written recipe from her website and it is HOT!! And I am not weenie when it comes to spicy food either. Just a warning that if you are not ready for intense heat, lay off a bit on the peppercorns and consider de-seeding the chiles first.

[@Risperdali]

I made this recipe a few times! It turned out great! I found you can add onion and broccoli to it to give more vegetables

[@octoviusthar1108]

Kung pao chicken is my favorite! I'm from myanmar! This is a staple Chinese dish in every Chinese restaurants in here! I love the phrase 'Don't waste the chicken!' Then he get the chicken off the floor and eat back!

[@PoeLemic]

Thank you for sharing. Somewhat new to channel, but this recipe looks more "authentic" to the Kung Pao that I've had in American restaurants. Lot of these people who claim to know how to make KPS or KPC don't really know what it tastes like. Yours looks like I got it at my local Chinese restaurant, but not lot of them left as the Pandemic has put many out of business in Houston, Texas.

[@SusieColmenero]

Tried this with many substitutions due to not having them on hand and it still came out delicious! Thanks for the recipe!

[@gluv208]

Can you make a video introducing your favorite Korean and Chinese sauces that you use? There are so many options out there and not sure which is the best and which would give us the same flavor as what you're making. Thanks!!

[@raytokumoto2200]

this looks pretty awesome. I have tried many szchewan recipes, I'll give yours a try. thank you for sharing!

[@colinpenney9869]

You are up there with Maangchi for sure! Love your cooking! I want to move to South Korea and learn how to cook everything! So hungry now, lol.

[@nurfatihaaishah4750]

Hi. I'm from Malaysia and i love your channel. From korean to japanese food. I can cook everything well with your recipes. thankyouuu! love ❤❤

[@bunnyvm5909]

Yes! Baking soda on beef, chicken has totally changed the game for me. Thank you beautiful lady

[@DBWhipkey1]

Excellent!!! I just learned last month, after years and years of classes and eating, I learned that the Chinese "version" used the peppercorns in it. Really glad to see you used them too.Great job and very professional. 6 stars.

[@jaredgibbs9311]

I just made this. I can't say enough good things, this is soooooo good! I'm fortunate to live close to an Asian market so I was able to get everything I needed. If this is an option for you, the ingredients are not expensive, and I recommend sticking exactly to the recipe. I think I spent $25 on all the sauces and spices, and there's plenty to last for many more batches. I stuck with 10 peppers and it was perfectly spicy for me (jalapeno heat is comfortable for me. If you're into habanero heat or more you'll want to use more peppers). I use a porcelain dutch oven instead of a wok for stir fry and it works beautifully, and there is so much you can do with that one dish. Seriously, I can't believe this came out of my kitchen! It's right up there with what you'd get at a really good restaurant. I'm going to portion this out and put it in the freezer for meal prep, my lunches are going to be awesome!

[@Sam-yd9uq]

how many grams in chicken did you use? it varies right? I m going to make it tonight. So tempting

[@jaredgibbs9311]

I didn't weigh it out, I just used two breasts per her recipe. I don't think it's necessary to be so precise with the meat as it is with the sauce; the sauce is what carries the signature flavor, so definitely stick to the proportions there. Just use what you would consider to be average-sized chicken breasts and it'll turn out fine.

[@kenyettaroberts9281]

Yum!!! Love you and the Hubby in the kitchen together so cute thanks for sharing

[@davidk4682]

You are very good. Very very good style, and cooking, and flavor. Very nice video, great recipe. Thank you for the sharing this beautiful masterpiece.

[@MrPabloguida]

I love the way she eats! It really looks like the food is amazing!

[@itsYihh]

i can feel the spiciness just seeing all that pepper! looks tasty!

[@babyblue8711]

Your one of my favorite chief on KZbin I try already some of your chicken dish and I love it. I'm from Philippines!

[@JennieDCuteThings]

Not gonna lie, when i cook now and begin to eat, i sing your signature "la la la laaaa~~~"

[@MyMKforever]

Haha so do I!

[@BenIntentional]

Made me laugh.

[@aliyaallan2432]

i skiped sichuan peppercorn and it still delicious!! lovee it

[@TumzDK]

I think I'll need to try this. I basically survived on Kung Pow Chicken last time I was working in China. Thank you for sharing the recipe! Greetings from Denmark.

[@medhattantawi2682]

Thank you I really enjoyed all the recipes you but on the net you make it look easy yet it is so great.

[@aliali791]

you are amazing......Kung Pao is my favorite dish.....I'll certainly try it. Many thanks for the recipe!

[@Satopi3104]

so the ad that came on for this video was a knorr packet food commercial where they take packaged food, add a couple of fresh ingredients and purport to call that real food (by the way it was some kind of wet, sauce-y pasta dish called "brushetta chicken, and yes, the mis-spelling on bruschetta is on purpose since that's how they pronounced it - i still can't find the bruschetta in there). Cooking real from from scratch is NOT hard, as Seonkyoung shows us. Get with it, the rest of America! I cook a lot of Japanese and Korean food but not so much Chinese, so this was really helpful. I am so hungry right now!

[@jlsinner99]

I love that dish and I love Sichuan peppercorn. I keep some in a grinder for when I want to add it to my noodle dishes.

[@RolandLowhorn]

I was so waiting for the peanuts . Beautiful dish the flavor is exciting. Beautiful blouse looks good on you .

[@nateman9736]

Made this about 5 times. Always great and can freeze leftovers if you make a bigger batch.

[@shengloveschu]

I made this and it's really good. Didn't have the black vinegar so i used equal parts worcesteshire sauce and rice vinegar.

[@shengloveschu]

I also add bell pepper.

[@lauralaura396]

This recipe looks great, I love peanuts in this dish, so I always add a lot! :) Some restaurants in China also add diced cucumber to it, I really like that.

[@heliosgnosis2744]

Yum! I am going to make this tonight with extra extra peanuts and jasmine steamed rice

[@rbrittne]

Dont forget the red bell pepper

[@MB_lovei]

I'm so inlove with your channel I've been binge watching your videos trying to get inspired!! Can u please make a video on the essentials when going to an Asian market like your top 10 ingredients we should buy!! Please!!

[@howdy2399]

The color of the dish looks amazing, like rice's best buddy.😃

[@gooniejunie4582]

hi seonkyoung. i love how your hunny picks up the chicken off the floor and eats it. anyway, you two are so cute and funny with the dances! thank you for the recipe.

[@budeez4204]

Ok first, I got to say “awesome recipe” the flavors were so good. I only used half of the pepper corns and only 7chili’s and after half hour and a half gallon of milk my face has finally got some feeling back, I’m still a little dizzy , next time I’ll only use half of what I did use. A couple of nights ago I made your gen. TSO’s chicken and my wife thought it was too spicy god if I let her try this I’ll be divorced. Love your recipes

[@AlternativeElvis]

Just made mine and I overdid it a bit with the sichuan peppercorns... It tasted amazing but it felt like my face was melting and my lips were growing fur. Love the show!

[@milenkoboljevic4247]

I love this meal,and generally Chinese food.

[@mufeedhamardeen6857]

your husband is luckiest person.

[@latengocomoburro]

I was just going to say the same thing. and I see your comment is #1 on the list. Weird! I guess everybody agrees. He is very lucky.

[@heysultana]

Yeah. They don’t need to go out to have chinese. They have a chinese restaurant at home, damn!

[@latengocomoburro]

​@@heysultana We don't mean it because of the food exclusively.

[@latengocomoburro]

​@Lavern I made a mistake, I meant "not only because of the food". (I corrected it) Yeap, she is gorgeous, no doubt.

[@aguacabana3476]

Gosh, there’s nothing more true than your stmt !

[@CharlesLe-thephotographer]

bravo for including the special peppercorn. Most videos about Kung Pao Chicken don't even know about this ingredient. Most Chinese restaurants I go to in the Bay Area don't even do this dish correctly.

[@pchan1728]

I used 6 dried chilis cut in half. WOW!, Mouth on fire, but not bad "fire". LOL. Anyway, texted a photo to my Daughter of finished product ... immediately texted back, in all caps ... "SAVE ME SOME PLEASE". LOL. Love your videos!!!! :^D
