"This dish, also known as Kung Pao chicken, has the curious distinction of having been labeled as politically incorrect during the Cultural Revolution. It is named after a late Qing Dynasty (late 19th century) governor of Sichuan, Ding Baozhen, who is said to have particularly enjoyed eating it — Gong Bao was his official title. No one can quite agree on the details of its origins: Some say it was a dish Ding Baozhen brought with him from his home province of Guizhou; others that he ate it in a modest restaurant when he went out in humble dress to observe the real lives of his subjects; still others, rather implausibly, that his chef invented the finely chopped chicken dish because Ding Baozhen had bad teeth. Whatever the truth of its origins, its association with an imperial bureaucrat was enough to provoke the wrath of the Cultural Revolution radicals, and it was renamed "fast-fried chicken cubes" (hong bao ji ding) or "chicken cubes with seared chiles" (hu la ji ding) until its political rehabilitation in the 1980s."

kung pao chicken is a spicier dish of chicken, some nuts (depends on the maker for variety), some small-diced potatoes and a few veggies.. usually too hot for me to enjoy, but many people prefer it because of spices

I like a type of Chinese cuisine called Dim Sum that's mostly for tea ceremonies I guess you could say. Anyways, I like the pot stickers that are served during the ceremony and the rolls :] Does that count as my favorite Chinese food?
