published Dec 04, 2023 Hunan province is located in central China and is also referred to as Xiang for the Xiang River that runs through it. I took a boat ride down the Xiang river before the dam was built back in April 2005. It was an amazing experience and I tried so many different dishes that were not to be seen in the United States. Some had the same name, but sauces had been adapted or added for the American palette. I also found that most meat and fish dishes had not removed the bones, which made for some interesting and challenging eating. What I realized was how the Chinese had changed and adapted to what was available in the United States when their food was first introduced and what would appeal to the American tastes. Hunan chicken is the perfect dish to make when you want a quick meal without sacrificing on flavor. This chicken stir fry is filled with loads of veggies and lean protein, it allows you to enjoy all your favorite Chinese flavors without a heavy feeling in your stomach. Plus, this Hunan chicken recipe comes together in only 30 minutes and is easy to customize to suit your tastes. In fact, you can make this versatile stir-fry recipe with chicken, pork, beef, or even tofu if you prefer.
