Pao chicken
Pao chicken is a dish that can be traced back to the early days of Chinese cuisine. It is said that the first Pao chicken recipe was created during the Han Dynasty. The dish was made by combining chicken, rice, and vegetables. The dish was then wrapped in a lotus leaf and steamed.
Pao chicken became a popular dish during the Tang Dynasty. The dish was often served at banquets and was a favorite of the emperor. Pao chicken was also served at the imperial palace.
During the Song Dynasty, Pao chicken was made with different ingredients. Chicken was replaced with duck or pork. The dish was also often served with a sweet sauce.
Advice
When making pao chicken, the most important thing to remember is to add enough oil to the pan. This will help the chicken remain juicy and crisp after it is cooked. Also, be sure to season the chicken properly with spices and sauces to bring out its flavor. Finally, be sure to cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will ensure that the pao chicken is cooked properly and safe to eat.
