Title: Recipe review: Gong Bo Chicken from A Taste of Asia, page 53
Post by: BeezeeBee on July 18, 2013, 12:41:30 am
Made this dish recently. Didn't have Chinese wine, peanut oil, Chinese black vinegar, spring onions nor roasted cashews in the pantry. Used 3 dried chillies.

Chicken turned out tasty but a bit too hot for my little DS. Meat came out too shredded; I started off with 3 cm chicken thigh fillets. Might have to cut it into bigger pieces next time.

Not quite authentic because of the missing smoky aroma from the wok. But good enough for a quick meal.

BZB, I can't believe you didn't have those ingredients in your pantry  :o ;D.  I'm Australian and I had them all except the black vinegar.  Thanks for the review and yes 3cm is rather small for 15 minutes of cooking, I'd double that to 6cm at least.  I usually start off with bigger cubes when doing meat dishes.

We tried this dish this week and it was the first to disappear at the dinner party.  The Gong Bo means with chillies and cashews.  Delish!
