Gong Bao Chicken 宫保鸡 and frog legs by Angela Seah Thulin

I have always liked the Gong Bao frogs legs from Singapore Geylang lorong 9. The spiciness and taste - I am never tired of it. Since i am away from Singapore, i try to replicate it in my Swedish kitchen and share in my Facebook cooking group - Plate & Palate, i received a lot of good feedback! Give it a try... i'm sure this tastes like the ones you had in Lorong 9 too! 

I'm sharing two recipes here - chicken and frog legs.
