Hunan Kung Pow ?
 
Can anyone post a good recipe with simple directions to make a dish known locally in resteraunts as Hunan Kung Pow or chicken Hunan (if it has chicken) or Hunan noodles ?

I've done some web searching, but none of the recipes I've tried tasted like I want.

The dish I want would have noodles covered with veggies (maybe chicken) and peanuts in the veggies.

It is quite hot (spicy)

I would love to be able to make this for dinner regularly.

Here's one...
 
Hunan Hot & Sour Chicken

Ingredients
2 tsp Each cornstarch and dry sherry
1/4 tsp Each salt and pepper
1 lb Chicken breasts, skinned, boned, and cut in bite-size pieces
3 1/2 Tbl Salad oil
1 Tbl Minced garlic
2 tsp Minced fresh ginger
1 Tbl Fermented black beans, rinsed and drained
1 sm Green pepper, seeded and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 Medium-size carrot, thinly sliced
8 oz Can sliced bamboo shoots
1 Tbl Water

Cooking sauce
2 tsp Cornstarch
1/2 tsp Each crushed red pepper and salad oil
2 Tbl Soy sauce
2 1/2 Tbl White wine vinegar
1/2 cup Chicken broth

Preparation
In a bowl, combine cornstarch, sherry, salt and pepper. Add chicken and stir to coat, then stir in 1 1/2 tsp of the oil and let stand for 15 minutes to marinate.

Prepare cooking sauce by blending all ingredients in another bowl, set aside.

Place a wok or wide frying pan over high heat. When pan is hot, add 2 Tbl of the oil. When oil begins to heat, add garlic, ginger, and black beans. Stir once, then add chicken and stir-fry until chicken is opaque (about 3 minutes).

Remove chicken from pan. Add the remaining 1 Tbl oil to pan. When oil is hot, add green pepper, carrot and bamboo shoots. Stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add water and stir-fry for 1 1/2 minutes.

Return chicken to pan. Stir cooking sauce, add to pan, and cook, stirring, until sauce bubbles and thickens.

If you like food that produces watery eyes and a burning mouth, pass a little bowl of hot pepper & black bean sauce.

2 Tbsp ground ginger
2 Tbsp dried cilantro
1 Tbsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbsp mustard seed

Preparation
Combine all in a jar and shake well to mix. Use in Hunan Chicken,
Pork, Beef. Makes about 14 Tbsp. Use about 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons
per 1 1/2 lbs. of boneless meat and 1/2 cup liquid.


Hunan Spice v.2

Ingredients
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon ground Szechwan peppercorns, or lemon pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 tablespoon dried cilantro
1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1/2 tablespoon mustard seed

Preparation
Combine all in a small jar and shake well to mix. Use in Hunan
Pork or Hunan Chicken recipes. (About 1 teaspoon per 1 - 1 1/2
pounds of boneless meat and 1/2 cup liquid). Makes about 7
Tablespoons.
