Wow, with over a dozen Chinese or Oriental cookbooks, I had a hard time finding this recipe! It is probably called something else (like spicy fried chicken) and I really do have a dozen recipes. :) This one is from _Elegant_ Entertaining_Cookbook_ by Myra Sable of Sable and Rosenfeld, Bantam books. General Tsao was a real person, general and poet who lived in China 155-220 AD. rn e in the frig for 1 hour. Heat the oil in a wok. Deep fry the chicken, a few pieces at a time, about 1 minute or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels. Pour all

INSTRUCTION
- Cut the chicken into big chunks. It is better to use boneless chicken leg with the skin on. Marinate it with 1.5 tsp of salt, 3/4 tsp of black pepper, 2 tsp of soy sauce, 1 egg yolk. Egg yolk contains a certain amount of fat, which will make the chicken extra crispy. Cover it. Let that sit for about 15 minutes.
- While waiting, combine 2/3 cup of cornstarch, 2/3 cup of all-purpose flour together. Cornstarch is another trick to make the chicken crispy. If you only use all-purpose flour, the outside layer will be a bit doughy.
- Put all the chicken into a big container and dump the flour mixture to cover the chicken. Put on the lid and Give it a few good shakes. Then put the chicken pieces in a sieve and shake off the excess flour.
- Heat the oil to 350 F. I am using soybean oil. You can use any high smoke point oil.
- Put in the chicken one by one. Let it fry for a minute or 2 so the surface can form up a little. Then you can flip them over so they cook evenly. After 4 or 5 minutes, the outside layer should be slightly golden and crispy. Now is the time to take it out. Let them rest for about 15 minutes.
- We are going to fry the chicken again. Double frying it to make sure the crispy outside layer stays longer. If you have guests coming, you can fry the second time right before serving.
- HOW TO SAVE THE CHICKEN: Whenever I make General Tso’s chicken, I will make more than what I can eat. Freeze the chicken right after the first frying. Next time I want to eat General Tso's chicken, don’t need to defrost, just directly start the second fry. It will save you a lot of time.
- Fish out the small particles that are left in the oil. Heat it to 370F. Fry the chicken for a minute or 2. Once they are beautifully golden brown, you can take them out.
- Now we can make the sauce. In a sauce bowl, combine 4.5 tbsp of sugar, 1/2 tsp of cornstarch, 2.5 tbsp of Chinese black vinegar, 1 tbsp +2 tsp of soy sauce, 3.5 tbsp of water together.
- Besides that, prepare some dried hot chilies. (The chef who invented this dish, he is from Hunan province. Hunan is one of the places in China where people are obsessed with chilies. So just a little spicy kick.
- Heat up your wok, add a tsp of oil, some grated garlic, grated ginger, and the dried chilies. Start with low heat. Stir and saute them. We want to toast the chilies until it is slightly smoky, you should be able to smell it. Pour in the sauce. [Note: The sauce amount I gave is only enough for half of the chicken. Make sure you double the amount if you use the full recipe]. Cook the sauce on medium heat until it becomes a thin syrup texture. Then you can add the chicken. Toss everything until the chicken is coated nicely. And you are ready to serve. Add half tsp of sesame seeds for some nutty taste. Top a little bit of cilantro for presentation. Enjoy!

How to Make General Tso's Chicken
Learn how to make General Tso's chicken. It has 16 oz of sweet and spicy stir fry chicken with vegetables.
Recipe:
Brief History: Because of the name, I did a little digging, and it came from chefs that left China and moved to the United States in the late mid 1900s. The General Tso's chicken dish has references to hunanese dishes. The General Tso's Chicken dish doesn't have any proof of connection yet to the general. Its a sweet and spicy dish.
Addtional info: I just watched a documentary on search for general tso on netflix and found that the first original recipe came from Chef Peng from the hunan area that moved to Taiwan and thats where it first originated from. However, general tso's dish has evolved from peng's orginal recipe where in america, we added sugar to the recipe.
