Gong Bao, also known as Kung Pao Chicken, is a popular dish in Chinese cuisine that originates from the Sichuan province. It typically features diced chicken stir-fried with peanuts, vegetables, and chili peppers, creating a balance of flavors that is both spicy and savory. The dish is often served with a sauce made from soy sauce, vinegar, and sugar, which adds a rich, tangy taste. The name Gong Bao comes from a title meaning "palace guardian," referring to a Qing Dynasty official who is said to have enjoyed this dish. Over time, it has become a staple in Chinese restaurants worldwide, often adapted to suit local tastes while maintaining its signature ingredients.
