Recipe of General Tso's Chicken

Ingredients

• 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup cornstarch
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 2 tablespoons ginger, minced
• 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
• For the sauce:
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Directions

1. 1

   In a bowl, coat the chicken pieces with cornstarch until they are well-covered.

2. 2

   Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok to 350°F (175°C). Fry the chicken pieces in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Drain them on a paper towel-lined plate.

3. 3

   In a separate pan, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat and sauté the ginger and garlic until fragrant.

4. 4

   In a small bowl, whisk together all the sauce ingredients until smooth. Pour the sauce into the pan with ginger and garlic and let it simmer until it thickens.

5. 5

   Toss the fried chicken pieces in the sauce until they are well-coated.

6. 6

   Serve your General Tso's Chicken over steamed rice, garnished with chopped green onions. Enjoy the delicious combination of crispy chicken and flavorful sauce!
