SPICY KUNG PAO SCALLOPS AND ORANGE RICE
Published in Newsday 1995, according to chinese legend, Kung Pao means "guardian of the throne" and named for the General that was in charge of protecting the emperor. To me it means "take-out", but this great dish is easy enough to make at home. You can substitute chicken and have a second meal to keep it interesting! Enjoy.
