Kung pao chicken is a Sichuan stir-fry of diced chicken, dried chilies, Sichuan pepper and roasted peanuts in a savory, slightly sweet sauce. Because the chicken isn’t battered, it’s one of the lighter takeout choices, at about 129 kcal per 100 g. The peanuts and the oil in the wok are the main variables, and steamed rice is extra.
