Similar to the hot kung pao chicken offered in Chinese restaurants. It's simple to create, and you can get as creative as you like with the measurements. The sauce thickens nicely as it decreases. Replace the water chestnuts and peanuts for bamboo shoots or cashews, respectively. Nothing can go wrong! Enjoy!
