The Best Kung Pao Chicken | SAM THE COOKING GUY 4K

[@etherdog]

Sam, I love the way you distill a dish to the basic components and explain how they come together. It helps to demystify cooking. Do you have any food sins for which you wish to atone?

[@eton13_]

would be great over some white rice

[@alondraibanez956]

You BBC knew usually akih

[@19Silver67]

This is absolutely delicious!! My family loves this recipe. They don't even want to go out for Asian food, they would rather have me dizzy it now. It is so easy to make.

[@silent_amy]

I love Sam the cooking guy so much!!! I used to watch back in like, 2008 when it was on TV.

That looked amazingly delicious. I'll be trying it. I've not seen anything yet you've prepared on this channel that didn't look great. I do hope you keep the recipes coming.👍🏻👍🏻

[@jdcla29]

We need a Sam the Cooking Guy: Just Some Awesome Chinese Food recipes book to set next to the other three on our shelf!

[@TheRealHeger]

Made it today (instead of rice vine we used normal dry white vine) and it was absolutely delicious! Thank you Sam!

[@HikeMontana]

Seriously, this is the best Kung Pow I’ve ever had. Thank you for making cooking fun again.

[@mohr4less]

The wifey loved this. As did I. You’re tied for my favorite cooking show, Sam, alongside Cowboy Kent Rollins. And you’re both leagues better than my 3rd place so don’t take that as a anything but a raving compliment. You’re awesome. Keep up the good work.

[@adamcartermi5]

Love your recipes and love when u take fan recipes

[@EverydayBBQ]

Dude that looked outstanding! Nicely done as usual!

[@eliastamim2319]

[@xFatalPhenomx]

Looked very good. Super easy to make. I'll have to add this to the dinner menu sometime. Have you ever made chicken rendang? Excellent dish as well. Keep the vids coming! 👍🤘

[@user-ob6gc3io6i]

I literally can't stay subscribed to you. Your gonna make me go bankrupt just trying to make that food. Just the thumbnail alone... I need to resist the temptation.

It's not Kung Pao without peanuts dude!

[@derricklaychuk8965]

Thank you for the videos, Sam. I do love that you have shortened them. Not because you are not great...Just life gets busy.

Kung Pao is the shizzle Sam, my absolute favorite of Chinese cuisine, (NOT to sound like one of THOSE guys but), did u not put peanuts in purposely? I've always had it with peanuts. You rocked it bro.

Next time toss in about 1/4 c. of dry roasted peanuts! Looks great though!

[@dminniswhite68]

@Thenegroblackman Then you should definitely leave them out.

[@pt9373]

i love cashews in my stir frys

[@lockergr]

So can I substitute arrowroot starch for cornstarch? I just don't eat cornstarch but I have to start finding a way to make my own Chinese, because I can't eat soy, and they cook and soy oil and of course use soy sauce at all of the Chinese places. So I am living for this Asian playlist, but I suppose at some point I need to look up paleo Chinese recipes. Just less fun, as I like Sam.

[@kennethst.bernard2710]

This looks delicious. I love your videos!!

[@xaviernavy]

Making this right now… the smell in my kitchen is amazing.

[@romanovskie3381]

Sam, I love that you made my two favorite Chinese dishes. General Tsao and now Kung pow. I'm going to make them both. You are the man!

[@lockergr]

Why the one eyed symbolism? I know enough about that to know it's the evil that rules this realm.

[@anthonycook5534]

@@lockergr I was drinking one night and thought is was funny. That is my eye though.

[@lockergr]

@@anthonycook5534 I had a photo of my favorite musician as my profile picture for a long time and someone called me out that he was standing with only one eye showing. I was busting other people's balls about the one-eyed symbolism, and I inadvertently had it myself! So I swapped the photo out.

[@randmiller88]

Not sure if it's "purist" or not, but I've always seen it made with whole chili peppers (which I eat because they're awesome).

[@lockergr]

Hardcore bro.

[@junzzzzzz4996]

chili pepper always goes in before other ingredients when you cook Chinese food or specifically Sichuan food.

[@vKingGhostV]

is his pan the cast iron or the non-stick? or just the regular pan?

[@kyleplewes5821]

Hey Sam! Great recipe, that chicken looks amazing! Hope you and the fam are well! Talk soon, can't wait for your next episode!

[@joshweidner1269]

Dood....great recipe highly recommend, one of the best. Love it!

[@Jaydit7]

Kung Pao should have the Heat...not enough so your head explodes...just enough to make your nose run (sorry for the grossness, but am I wrong?)....love your recipe.

[@gooberclown953]

I completely agree with you.

[@SupaNami]

That goooood heat that stays with you through out the meal

[@amarmehta01]

A slow burn. You aren’t wrong.

make some Yakisoba noodles with shrimp

[@eriknulty6392]

YEEEEE BRO

[@rhondawilliams9449]

You made that look really easy. I love Kung Pao Shrimp so I am going to give this a try with shrimp. If you don't hear from me I've gone to heaven.

[@jorgeguzman8935]

Corn starch that's on the chicken is gonna make this sauce thicken its like music to my ears

[@gulftoad]

I almost followed the instructions and it's still good.

[@stevea8193]

the use of cornstarch and soy sauce is a Chinese technique called Velveting Meat. Guarantee, any meat you get from a Chinese restaurant will have been coated in the base mix of cornstarch and soy sauce along with other sauces and seasonings depending on the recipe.

[@edwinmcnew4389]

Sounds and looks delicious! I want some!

[@randaljenkins5009]

Just caught the video! What about the peanuts?? Making this Friday, but with peanuts! And rice....

[@Nope-ec5yv]

I have to try this ! Thanks for the video

[@roconnor01]

How do you 'thicken a situation' ?

[@fredruiz4416]

Hysterical! But in all seriousness my go 2 when I’m trying to learn how 2cook 👍🏾

[@IanClos3]

What size wok are you using? Cannot tell if its a 14" or 12"

[@jacobotha6158]

I get Kung Pao Chicken from our local Chinese shop. They do it about the same but with Cashew nuts as well. You should add some and try it. Served with Basmati Rice

[@kymdisney11]

Sam..... no peanuts??? Whenever I order Kung Pao I order it with EXTRA peanuts! Other than that, I'd totally make this! Thanks for the great videos!

[@steezorcheese]

Weird, I actually made this for my fam and I today before watching the vid. Some great techniques in your vid I'll try next time. I added a few others to our's, threw in some sliced chestnuts, peanuts, and some zucchini chunks.

[@wadecaldwell7210]

Sam, what kind of chili peppers I live in Kentucky I can’t find anything here?

[@sixzerozero3187]

I recommend making kung pao with dried thai chilis, very hard to come by, but de seed them.

[@GT500-]

Step1# Lamp chops + fresh lime juice + grounded onion + salt (nothing else, no spices) Step2# Marinade for 24 hours Step3# Grill them on charcoal grill Let me know what you think Sam, Original Persian Cousin

[@corvettekro818]

Hey Sam. Love your channel! Kung Pao Chicken.... I had the best in Taiwan when I was working there. Its not so complicated and most of it is in the sauce that I dont know a sh*t about! The ingredients: Chicken like in your video, Garlic, plenty (5-10 cloves) and just crushed under the knife, ginger about pea size chopped, about a large tabel spoon, and then the chili pebbers like in your video, then peanuts. Thats it! No veggies. Much more oil in the wok.... :-)

[@samweaver6475]

12 chilis, half chopped, half whole and one lost :( 3:15

[@tomellison5588]

Very perceptive I didn't even catch that! Thanks for ruining the video for me asshole! It was perfect before you 😂

[@CP-ho8to]

Where do you get those crackle plastic bowls???

[@jaclynmcreaturo3876]

its so bold of sam to admit that he's never made this recipe before and then go ahead and call this video "the best kung pao chicken"

[@abrax8173]

Will try it, wife loves spice food. As always love your show.

[@IcedOutkrs]

You should do beef negimaki next. I love the sweet sauce taste, mixed with the onions & steak like flavour of the beef.

[@iiRoel]

Do you put in the peanuts whole? Or like roughly chopped

[@philippacrowe8499]

@iiRoel roasted and roughly chopped

[@drunkandcory3028]

There you go making that Chinese food you should do more of that too good job

[@stevenkukene9970]

I did make this and it was awesome. Better than take out!

[@digitaljimmy123]

Why is this guy so funny? Love him. Love you sam.

[@Spart1269]

My first idea would’ve been to go for chopped or sliced fresh chili peppers. I don’t really do the dried stuff.

[@djtoman6875]

My friends and I used to scour Taipei in search of the best Kung Pao Chicken 宮保雞丁. I don't live there anymore, but it looks like this recipe will ensure that my kitchen serves the best [bleep] Kung Pao Chicken in my zip code. Not to be pedantic, but wasn't the soy sauce you used two different kinds, one being dark soy sauce (the first one) and the second the light soy sauce usually used for seasoning? We always have both types, as well as Shaoxing cooking wine, on hand at all times.

[@cupcakezinger717]

Can you show us how to make General Tso's chicken, please?

[@brandonseidel3853]

I made this last night. Freaking amazing!

[@othmtb8211]

OMG Sam! Your fans have gone nuts!!! Fantastic video.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Looks so good. If I recall, Kung Pao chicken has whole chilies in it. Cheers!

[@rth314]

Most recipes on KZbin seem to chop the chilies in half and remove the seeds unless you want more heat. The main heat in the dish comes from the Sichuan peppercorns, which this recipe is missing.

The "best" recipe from someone who has never cooked it before? I'm not sure I'm buying that.

[@83devildog]

looks awesome dude

[@LessThanHandy]

I would probably add some celery. Love celery in my Asian foods. ✌️

[@BlondeReaganite]

To keep chicken breast from during out you add baking soda to the chicken veggie cooking it.. And you add the corn starch to the sauce because your sauce at the end is too watery and you never use whole chilis.. You always cut them because you don't want to bite into a whole chili while eating it.. That is why they are always cut in this recipe.. And Kung Pao has peanuts in it.. Just a few tips

[@philippacrowe8499]

Incorrect use of baking soda, you put a wee bit into it marinading to tenderise tougher meat, coating in the corn flour helps keep the moistness in and thicken the sauce. Just a tip also the toasted/part crushed peanuts are added as garnish

[@sbigmike84]

Thanks... gonna do this tonight!!

[@sinisastankovic4727]

Dude??? No Sechuan pepper? No rice? No peanuts or cashews?

[@Angie-oh6fp]

Diced zucchini, carrots, roasted whole peanuts, & celery should be added too right? Maybe my local chinese joint does it different.

[@vaughnprecision]

Looks amazing

[@zay727]

Would this be good with Lo Mein noodles Sam??

[@ParkerBai92]

Goodway to cook the chilis is to roast them in the wok before adding the sauce

[@ParkerBai92]

Also you should add roasted peanuts

[@connieaversa2227]

I love Kung Pao, I love your Cooking. Just wondered if deviating by adding a ton of veggies would be to much? I would like to add zucchini, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots and baby corn. Also have to top off with peanuts instead of sesame.

[@lisamelting]

Have at it. I made it and added mushrooms, broccoli and asparagus. Was great.
