A simple stir fry

@Mattman3969 made me hungry for some stir fry. So I made Kung Pao Chicken according to Grace Young and her book Breath of Wok. 

Here’s all the goodness ready to go in the wok.

Making the chicken happy. 

Then the bell peppers get a turn. 

Pulling it all together. 

Done and plated. 

An easy and tasty cook. I don’t know why I don’t do this more often. Thanks for looking.

    Looks delicious, but Kung Pao without the skinny red Hot chilies?

    My beloved wife can’t handle the spice... so sadly no red chilies...

    nicely done, sir. 

    If you find yourself enjoying these cooks, look up Fuchsia Dunlop’s Land of Plenty, or Every Grain of Rice. Great recipes, and easily adaptable to personal taste.

    Thanks y’all. @caliking thanks for the tip about the book - it must be new, they aren’t releasing the kindle version for two more weeks.

    I have her "Stir Frying to the Sky's Edge" on Kindle.  I wonder how the two books compare...

    Looks awesome as per usual @SciAggie.  Curious, on what apparatus is the wok resting?  CGS spider?
    It's "Smokin Gal", not "Smoking Al".

    Yes, it’s the CGS spider and a cast iron wok I picked up from The Wok Shop while visiting SF.

    I like it better than the carbon steel wok that I’ve had for over 35 years.

    It’s hard to quantify why I like it better. It is a rougher surface and I think I like the way food adheres due to the extra friction. You can push food up the sides to reduce the heat for a bit. It seasoned easily and food doesn’t stick to it. It is a slightly more shallow wok. I still like the CS woks better for deep frying foods.
