As a native Chinese, this is very close to authentic and home-made friendly. The only thing is that I’ve never eaten this version with zucchini, usually it is with stem lettuce or cucumbers.

Just tried this a week ago and did a second one few days ago, it was a success, everyone loved it. Only difference i did is add oyster sauce to my kung pao sauce and tried different veggies each time. Will be trying other recipes for sure ❤

I love your recipe and that you included measurements. I don't like to eye-ball bc I like for a dish to taste the exact same way every time I make it

I made this for dinner and it was really tasty. I tried it before and it wasn't as good, and I concluded that you're using Indian sesame oil, which is clearer and not made from toasted sesame seeds, which make it a very strong, nutty flavor. So this time I used canola oil instead. So good!

[ronaldworth]

These recipes are brilliant and I always use them thank you so much ..
