Method
- Start by prepping your soy sauce, sesame oil, fresh ginger so the cooking goes quickly.
- Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the garlic and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the kung pao and let it silky, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
- Fold in the sesame oil and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
- Off the heat, brighten it up with cracked black pepper and a final crack of pepper.
- Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
