Kung Pao chicken, also transcribed as Gong Bao chicken, is a spicy stir-fry dish made with chicken, peanuts, vegetables, and chili peppers. The classic dish in Szechuan cuisine originated in the Sichuan Province of central-western China and includes Sichuan peppercorns. Although the dish is found throughout China, there are regional variations that are typically less spicy than the Sichuan serving. Kung Pao chicken is also a staple of westernized Chinese cuisine. The dish is believed to be named after Ding Baozhen, a late Qing Dynasty official, a one-time governor of Sichuan. His title was Gong Bao. The name "Kung Pao" chicken is derived from this title. During the Cultural Revolution, the dish's name became politically incorrect because of its association with Ding Baozhen. The dish was renamed "fast-fried chicken cubes" or "chicken cubes with seared chiles" until its political rehabilitation in the 1980s. LESS
