general tso's chicken
« on: February 24, 2019, 07:28:09 PM »
So tonights dinner was homemade General Tso's Chicken.

Heres the link to the base recipe that i used:

https://www.tastingtable.com/cook/recipes/general-tso-chicken-wings

***Warning***
- the dark soy sauce will turn the base sauce almost black.....

- the chili paste/sauce that is posted, is not the same as the bean sauce that is called for in the recipe.....it will leave a sneak up behind you and kick you in the butt heat.

2 things of note:

1. I did not use my wok, because i dont have a proper set up to use it correctly or efficiently, so i used the cast iron dutch oven.

2. I will use a rice flour with cornstarch instead of just cornstarch as the breading.

Also attached is a printable version of the recipe.

I was just thinking about trying to make this or sesame chicken this weekend.

There are some small markets but it's hard to find them open when I'm not working. My best bet is to hit up one of the larger grocery stores that have an Asian food aisle.
