Legend has it that a Qing Dynasty governor of Sichuan, Gong Bao, disguised himself and slipped out of the palace to mingle with the lay folk when he had this dish at a local restaurant. Returning to the palace he had his kitchen recreate the dish and the rest is history. The version found in Sichuan is typically less sweet and more fragrant/pungent than it's American counterpart.
