Does anyone know how to make general tsos sauce?
Here’s a recipe. I’ve made it – good, but not exactly like the ones from the restaurants. Brands you can buy: Archer Farms (a Target brand) or Iron Chef (from a regular grocery store) – both are good, but still not exactly like restaurants. I also add in extra hot peppers, garlic, and ginger when I use the bottled sauces. General Tso’s Chicken 3 tablespoons soy sauce 3 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced fine 1 egg, beaten 2 cups corn oil 1/4 to 1/ 2 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes, optional (we used 1/4 teaspoon) 3 tablespoons rice vinegar 1 large clove garlic, minced fine 4 whole chicken legs, boned and skinned (ask the butcher to bone and skin the chicken, it’s a lot easier than doing it yourself) 1 tablespoon cornstarch 4 dried hot chiles Combine soy sauce, vinegar, water, garlic and ginger in a small bowl; set aside. Cut each chicken leg into 4 pieces. Heat oil. Combine egg and cornstarch in a large bowl; blend well. Add chicken pieces in batches and fry in oil unti
