Sunday Kung Pao Plate

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: soy sauce, sesame oil, fresh ginger and set within reach of the stove.
2. Set a wide pan over medium heat and sweat the shallots in a little butter until translucent.
3. Add the kung pao and let it sunday, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the sesame oil and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the cream, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Off the heat, brighten it up with chili crisp and a final crack of pepper.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
