California Pizza Kitchens Kung Pao Spaghetti

This is soooo good! One of my favorite recipes of all time. Even if you don't make the chicken still so good, (sometimes I add mushrooms instead of doing the chicken) And it makes even better leftovers!

Great recipe, but needs a couple of adjustments. I do think it was too salty. Suggest using light soy sauce or maybe cutting the regular soy sauce to 1/2 cup. At first I thought I was doing something wrong, since the egg-white cornstarch mixture wasn't coating the mixture, but still turned out ok. Used whole wheat spaghetti, low fat chicken stock, and canned chicken for this recipe to make it healthier. I also put in fresh chili peppers so I think that reduced the spiciness a little.

This was simply excellent and identical to the restaurant. We went to CPK and ordered this one day on our honeymoon and it was nice to be able to replicate it at home. You can substitute white vinegar if you don't have the other vinegar on hand. DELICIOUS!

This was a nice dish, fun to make with noodles. I used less sugar and much less oil for our tastes. I also added a bell red pepper to get some veggies in there. I only needed to cook the sauce about 8 minutes at most. I added a little more vinegar to this at the table.

This was my first time making this, and I have to say the receipe couldnt be more dead on. I couldnt find the dried chili peppers but there was plenty of heat from the chili paste. I also did use low sodium soy as a lot of people said if was too salty.

The outcome AMAZING. I have had this from California Pizza Kitchen and I couldnt tell the difference. My family was in their glory!! Great Receipe :-)

This is a great noodle dish. My family plus DD boyfriend gobbled it up.We love Kung Pao chicken and the noodle addition just makes it better. The sauce was delicious. I followed the ingredients per recipe but didn't add the chili paste, hot peppers, and peanuts. Hot stuff makes me cry and I don't like peanuts. Made for Asian Noodle Tag.

DH and I made this dish for dinner yesterday night. We really enjoyed the nice spicy flavor and heat of the chili peppers. In fact, I loved that this recipe called for 10-15 red chili peppers as I had a ton of thai dragons harvested from my garden that had dried out because I hadn't used them. I used all 15 (still have a lot left)! I especially enjoyed every peanut bite that I took. We followed the ingredients and steps as posted. Thanks, Sharon.

A new spicy favorite! The comments from my guys were simply - "this is so good!" I added some sugar snap peas and some shredded carrots for color and extra vitamins. Next time I'll skip the cornstarch/egg white step and just stir fry the chicken in a little bit of oil because in the end, that's what I did since I'm not too good at the whole breading/deep frying thing. Thanks for sharing!

Personally, I loved this dish. However, my children were not overly enthusiastic about it, although they loved the chicken. I used rice wine vinegar instead of red wine vinegar because it was what we had. Thank you for posting.

Yum! I had this dish at California Pizza Kitchen recently, and loved it so much I just had to try this. I did make some adjustments to make it a bit less fattening, though. I decided to do it vegetarian, so I skipped the whole chicken part. I used only 1 tbsp. of sesame oil, and I only had white vinegar on hand. I used some Korean rice noodles, too. Still, the flavor was delicious and everybody loved it! My husband had two huge helpings. I will be making this again, and will probably throw the chicken in next time. Thanks!

This was very, very nice! I did make a few minor changes to cut the calories and use more authentic ingredients. I used rice wine vinegar instead of red wine vinegar, shao xing rather than sherry. I would definately use light soy sauce next time too, as it was a little salty for our tastes. Beautiful sauce though! I used hokkein noodles and just cut my chicken into stir fry strips and didn't do the whole coating and deep frying thing at all. We'll be making this one again, thanks for posting!

I had trouble keeping the chicken together when I tried to flip it, but I really don't think it affected the flavor any. I also had only about 3/4 lb chicken and not as many peppers as called for. But none of this made any difference. The sauce was absolutely delicious and it's the sauce that makes the dish. Too fattening for me to eat often, but a nice treat nevertheless.

There is an error that for some reason was not approved when I tried to fix it. The chicken broth requires 1 1/2 cups, not just 1/2 cup. I've made this recipe several times directly from the CPK cookbook. Just be aware of this error and everything else is fine. Delicious, and there is not a CPK near me so it's always good to make something that reminds me of California (now in Boston).

My family loved this! Instead of chicken, i used prawn and it tasted absolutely delicious. I also replaced the red wine vinegar with apple cider vinegar. Will definitely cook this dish again.
