Ingredients
- Oil
- 1 1/2 to 2 ounces crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 6 (14-ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
- 28 ounces water (2 cans)
- 8 ounces soy sauce
- 2 ounces dark soy sauce
- 8 ounces Worcestershire
- 4 ounces rice wine or gin
- 10 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, diced
- 1-ounce cornstarch
- 2 onions, diced
- 2 bunches cilantro, leaves chopped
- 48 soft corn tortillas
- 1 cup unsalted roasted peanuts, chopped
Directions
Coat a large saucepan, over medium heat, with oil and add the red pepper flakes. Toast until aromatic. Add the broth and water and bring to a light boil. Add remaining ingredients, reduce the heat and simmer for a few minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Add about 3 to 4 ladles of room temperature sauce to a resealable plastic bag and add the chicken. Let marinate for at least 1 hour.
Add the cornstarch to the remaining sauce and mix well.
Heat a large skillet or a flat top grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Cook the chicken in the hot skillet until cooked through and lightly browned. Add remaining sauce mixture and cook to desired consistency, coating the chicken well. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter.
Mix the onions and cilantro together in a small bowl.
Assembly:
Warm the tortillas. Fill with Kung Pao Chicken and top with onion/cilantro garnish and chopped peanuts.

I saw the DDD show where these were made and they looked amazing. I saw that the recipe given on this website was for 50 tacos so I had some trouble finding the right amount of ingredients to make it. I winged it and the tacos came out pretty good although a little salty. Will keep trying and post it when I figure it out. Thanks
