How to make chicken legs-----Kung Pao Chicken

Overview

I have some unused peanuts at home, and I don’t eat them very much. Based on the principle of not wasting food, I thought about how to eat them while still being delicious. I made this Kung Pao Chicken according to the taste in my memory. The taste is not bad, the peanuts are not wasted, and it still has a lot of flavor.

  12. Carrots themselves are difficult to cook. Add the carrots immediately after the chicken is put into the pot and stir-fry evenly. (There is no need to add any liquid ingredients in the middle, including fresh food or water. The vegetables will dehydrate when heated.) Stir-fry for about five minutes, the carrots will be almost cooked.
