Hunan Chicken and Vegetables Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Popular Recipes. (Hunan Chicken and Vegetables Recipe). The owner of the Chinese restaurant in our town was nice enough to show me how to make his Hunan chicken (my favorite!) when they sold the restaurant in December, 2012. He used a wok over a huge gas flame in his restaurant kitchen and whipped this up in about 3 minutes! We home cooks have to make do with a saute pan, and a home stove won't cook nearly as fast as his wok on a flame.
