Selena's Kong Bao Chicken Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Selena's Kong Bao Chicken Recipe). My college roommate was from Taiwan, and this dish that she made was my favorite. I asked for it so much she finally gave me her recipe! A great Asian dish to pair with rice and a veggie dish, or even to serve with toothpicks as a appetizer. Her measurements are not exact, as it is a dish handed down in her family and they just know how much to put in.
