This is a version of General Tso Chicken that is so easy and so very good. It's nice and spicy too. :-)





1-2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch cubes


1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch


Oil to fry chicken


2 cloves fresh garlic minced


1/4 cup white vinegar


1/4 cup basalmic vinegar


5-6 teaspoons sugar


1 tablespoon chili paste


1/4 cup green onions chopped


Heat oil on high. Dredge chicken in cornstarch, dust off excess and fry in oil (in batches) until golden and cooked through. Remove from pan and keep warm.


Remove oil from pan and add vinegars, sugar and chili paste. This will bubble and thicken in a minute or so. Add chicken and green onion, tossing to coat the chicken. The sauce will stick to the chicken, there will not be much left in the pan.


Serve with rice.Does anyone know a recipe for General tso chicken ?
General Tso, General Tao... same diff.





What I do is buy a bottle of Tso/Tao, add some plum duck sauce and some red pepper flakes.





For the chicken, cut it into 1/2 in cubes. You can dust it in flour, but I use an egg wash and dry tempura mix. Fry it in canola oil with a little peanut oil added for flavor. Cook to a golden brown and drain on paper towel.





I heat up the sauce mixture in a pan and add the chicken tossing until coated evenly.





Plate it and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.





I know it isn't an EXACT recipe, but it really is to taste and that is how I cook.
1 large egg white


3 tablespoons cornstarch


3 tablespoons Chinese cooking wine, or dry sherry


3 tablespoons soy sauce


1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch cubes


1/4 cup chicken stock


2 teaspoons white vinegar


2 teaspoons sugar


Vegetable oil, for frying


12 dry red chile peppers


1 tablespoon minced garlic


1 tablespoon minced ginger


1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes


1/2 cup sliced green onions


1/2 cup roughly chopped lightly toasted cashews


Green onions, sliced on the bias, garnish


Hot steamed white rice, accompaniment





In a bowl, whisk together the egg white, 2 tablespoons of the cornstarch, 2 tablespoons of the wine, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours.





To make the sauce, in another bowl, whisk remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of the chicken stock until smooth. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons chicken stock, 1 tablespoon wine, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, the vinegar, and sugar and whisk to combine. Set aside until ready to finish the dish.





In a large wok or pot, heat enough oil to come 3 inches up the sides to 350 degrees F.





Remove the chicken from the marinade and carefully slide into the hot oil. Fry, turning, until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.





Discard all but about 1 tablespoon of the oil from the wok. (Alternatively, in a clean wok or saute pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.) Add the chile peppers and stir-fry until nearly black. Add the garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes and 1/2 cup green onions. Stir-fry until fragrant, about 15 seconds. Add the chicken stock sauce, bring to a boil, and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat.





Arrange the chicken on a platter and pour the sauce over it. Garnish with the cashews and additional green onions. Serve with hot rice.
I've tried making it a few times now. It is no fun. Do yourself a favor and just get carryout.
You mean General Tao I think. Look the link below, it is a recipe from a top restaurant i've been before. Absolutely tasty and gorgeous.
I have found a few recipes for this, but each time it doesnt turn out anything like what you get at the restaurant and it is not simple to make, like a basic stir fry is.





However, go to allrecipes.com they have recipes for this along with reviews and comments.





I hope you have better luck than I have.
