“This dish has been in our regular rotation. So easy.. my family loves it.. delicious! Used broccoli instead of green pepper. Also used red pepper flakes that I had on hand instead of dehydrated Chili’s. Thank you!” — a cook, 5.0★
“We absolutely love the Kung Poa recipe. 😋 I had to make some substitutions to use what I had on hand. Use shrimp instead of chicken, oyster sauce instead of soy sauce and peanut sauce instead of peppers” — a cook, 5.0★
