as a chinese person usually these recipes look really bad, but your recipe is actually really good! Not completely authentic but at least it will taste delicious! Some tips though: 1. For stir fried food, you dont have to peel the ginger if you give them a good wash (the leftovers last longer too!) Also, if you don’t want too many overpowering chunks of ginger, slice them thickly instead of mincing them and just fish them out by the end, the flavours will still infuse! 2. For your chicken marinade, add around half an egg white as well, this will actually tenderize the chicken and give it a nicer texture just like a good Chinese takeout. 3. Add half the spring onions when you cook the vegetables, this will release more fragrance into the oil instead of almost “boiling” them at the end! Enjoy!!

I just love this guy. And the way he talks about his husband and kids just the best not to mention he's always smiling

I so love that you don’t edit out your mess ups!

I only watched one vid and now hooked. His style, no stupid music, a smile worth at least a pot roast and dishes to die for.

Actually regarding bell peppers French chefs will never use green bell peppers as they are bitter let alone the fact that they are NOT ripe! Each colour is indicative of its ripeness with red being the absolute best and the sweetest !

I doubled this recipe for 4 adults - we all really enjoyed it!! I made it with what was in the fridge/pantry so I used chili flakes (1.2tsp), grated the ginger, used a dry white wine and added broccoli florets. I will be adding this dish into the rotation, it's not often that a new recipe gets a thumbs up from everyone at the table. Thanks for a tasty weekday meal that comes together easily. Keep up the great videos!

Your channel amazes me. I am an alright cook, but when I follow your recipes, my family goes crazy for your cooking. I am inspired by you and I am going to try this recipe. Thank you so much you are the greatest!

I love that the double virgo energy just disappears for savory recipes. We're piping tiny flowers and tracing circles or parchment for dessert, but here? Throw it at the bowl, it's dinner time! Honestly, I adore it.

I made John’s Kung Pao Chicken for dinner tonight. My family LOVED it! So much better than our local restaurant! Keep cooking John. This is my absolute favorite KZfaq cooking show.

Thanks for the great tip about skinning ginger. I'm loving your recipe videos.

Your orange chicken recipe was delicious, when I bake I only use your recipes and tell everyone about your channel 🥰 Cant wait to try this!

Thank god you posted!! Love, love, LOVE your content John!!

Aww! 🥰 I love how you include Brian in your videos, it shows how much you love him! I feel the love! ❤️ Blessings to you both and your family 😊 🙏💙

My favorite Chinese dish ever. Thank you!

He is actually cooking things in the correct order! Well Done John!

I lived in China for nine years my dad know how to make Kung pao chicken ,but I want to try this recipe it looks so good !

I just had Kung pao chicken tonight from my takeout. I can't imagine living somewhere without Chinese takeout. I understand living in a town that is small with hardly any stores I know I pass through it on the way to Waterbury to visit my grandmother and family. And I say to my self Hello John and Brian lol. Glad you started making your own in this case. Your food looks amazing John as always!

Also, Can you do a video on your HOLY GRAILS/must haves for your kitchen?! Please

This looks amazing, John! You're an excellent teacher.

Yes!! I love how you left stuff all over the bench. Very relatable.

My favorite Asian dish and I have made this a lot of times with and without nuts…thx for recipe 👏🏽👏🏽❤️ yum

This recipe is better than takeout! Thank you so much John! Your channel helps me in the kitchen, a lot.

Just LOVE your recipes! I have made your Kung Pao and bourbon chicken dishes and they are amazing! Making blueberry scones tomorrow!

I just love watching you cook! I sort of picture Brian in the background holding a fire extinguisher!

Made it tonight and it turned out absolutely delicious!!

I made this tonight. It was delicious! Thank you for sharing.

Here in Hong Kong it's usually cashews instead of peanuts, but why not both? And if you want to keep them crunchy, add them in right before dishing. BTW, salt in soy sauce not only adds flavour but acts as a preservative. That's why low-sodium soy sauce contains other chemicals that extend its shelf life. If that concerns you, use regular soy sauce in smaller quantities.

Id try all of your recipes John. You make things looks incredibly easy and fun!

Fabulous cook and explainer! Enthusiasm is really appreciated! Love your recipes! One of the best cooks on the channel!!!

I am so excited I found your site. So thank you for your recipes. xoxo 🧄🧄

What do they say in Wayne’s world? I’m not worthy. Been watching KZfaq cooking videos for ages, and totally wanna start my own done day. But damn, this is upper level! One of the best I’ve seen. No wonder you have 3.5 million subscribers!

I love the way you cook Chinese dishes , so cute 🥰

This looks good! I love cooking Kung Pao and one ingredient I always use is black bean paste. It has a rich salty flavor. I also sometimes mix in some chili paste with garlic.

Tried this receipe, turned out to be quite delicious.

It’s one of my favourite dishes in this world!! ❤

12/20/21: Hi John. I made this dish today (without the peanuts) and it turned out incredibly delicious. Love your cooking tutorials, I'm a fan, so I'll be on the lookout for many more. TFS and Happy Holidays!

Great recipe thanks John ✌️

LOVE that oversized turner you have! I laughed so hard when it said careful to adding the sauce 🤣. Looks delicious!!

Looks awesome! Looking forward to making this. Thanks.

Hi john, first time to see you in chinese cuisine. I like the way you eat your dish with a spoon. It is so finess. 👍👍👍

amazing recipe

I just made this for my family and it turned out great! So far, I’ve made orange chicken and Kung pao chicken from Preppy Kitchen! Also, broccoli cheese soup!

I’ll definitely make this soon😍

That looks so yummy

We made this tonight and it was perfect!

Loving your recipes John! greetings from El Salvador!

This is awesome 🤩👍

I made your orange chicken! Delicious! I will try this as well! Enjoy your videos!

Yay I finally have all the ingredients for a recipe I am totally making this for dinner tonight

My dad loves kung pao, it looks like I will be making this for him!

Just made the dish for my dad on Father’s Day! It was delicious and spicy, perfect! 🤯🌶

My friends ! It looks so delicious. You're very good at cooking. That's a good recipe. wow good Information 😋❤️❤️

You made such a beautiful cake in the tasty video :)

Good recipe.I love it.♥️♥️♥️

Woww! It looks so yummy😋

I like to see something that isn’t desserty lol I’m going to give this a try thank you!

New recipe will try it and will share my experience 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐

This was really good and not hard to make at all. I added 2 cloves of garlic because, well, we love garlic. Those peanuts make the dish. My only criticism is the recipe on the website calls for 3 tbsp. of sugar in the sauce and the video says 2. I went with the 3 (I had already put it in before I realized the difference). Next time I’m increasing the recipe so we have more leftovers! This will definitely become a staple in our house. Thanks, John. You’ve never steered me wrong.

Very nice!!

So excited for this one!! Can you make wonton soup and hot and sour soup? Yum!

My family has a Wok pan and we love chinese food so I'm really excited to try this out! and I don't worry about leftovers; 9 people in the house. :)

You can't tell me that green and red bell peppers don't taste different. They are SO different

Yum! Now i know what i'm making for dinner tonight

Great video John 😊😊

I think you are adorable! Kung pao chicken is also my favorite Chinese food

Nice kung pao chicken looks yummy I Food Leveling

Very delicious 👍
