How do chinese restaurants make general tsos chicken?
General Tso’s Chicken By S. John Ross It’s not really a Chinese dish, but it’s nevertheless one of the most popular dishes at Chinese restaurants here where I live, and elsewhere. General Tso’s Chicken is very inexpensive to make, but some restaurants charge rather a lot for it, usually putting it with “Chef’s Specialities” and the like on the menu, rather than with the ordinary chicken dishes. No fair! This is how to make it. * 1 lb chicken thighs, boned and cubed * 3 eggs, beaten * 1/2 cup and 2 tsp cornstarch * 5 dried pepper pods * 1-1/2 tbsp rice vinegar * 2 tbsp rice wine * 3 tbsp sugar * 3 tbsp soy sauce In a large bowl, thoroughly blend the 1/2 cup of cornstarch and the eggs; add the chicken and toss to coat. If the mixture bonds too well, add some vegetable oil to separate the pieces. In a small bowl, prepare the sauce mixture by combining the 2 tsp cornstarch with the wine, vinegar, sugar and soy sauce. First-Stage Frying: Heat 1-2 inches of peanut oil in a wok to medium-high
