His chicken nuggets are terrific little crispy bites that cook quickly and are then bathed in a maple syrup glaze studded with multiple kinds of chiles. Eat them hot—like General Tso's chicken. The dish is named after Zuo Zongtang (also romanized Tso Tsung-t'ang), a Qing dynasty statesman and military leader, although there is no recorded connection to him nor is the dish known in Hunan, Zuo's home province. It's sweet, savory, sour and every bit as addictive as the restaurant version.
Steps to make General Tso's Chicken:
- Prepare all ingredients. Cut the chicken itu bite size, and then in a mixing bowl mix with cornstarch and white pepper. Marinade for minimum 30 minutes (I did it overnight).
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Mix altogether in a bowl. Then add a beaten egg and all purpose flour to the marinated chicken.
- Heat the pan, put some cooking oil, and fry the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked.
- Heat some oil again, now sauteé the dried chillies and onion. Next, put the sauce in, and mixed with the leftover batter (egg and flour) until it's thickened. Last, put the chicken in and let the sauce cover all the chicken's surface.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and spring onion. Serve with hot white rice.
The chicken is crispy without being overly breaded (my usual complaint when it comes to General Tso's), while the sauce is thick and syrupy, just like it should be. Okay, so in my humble opinion, when ordering General Tso Chicken, Sesame Chicken or Orange Chicken from a Chinese restaurant, the base sauce reicpe is the same, they simply add spice to the General Tso, sesame seeds to the Sesame Chicken, and orange peel (with a little spice) to the Orange Chicken. General Tso's Chicken was one of my favorite college days late night Chinese food delivery orders. The spicier, zestier less popular cousin to the ever popular Orange Chicken, General Tso's Chicken is a fantastic option when you're looking to change up your Chinese food routine. If pieces of chicken stick together, break apart with spatula.
