General Tso’s Chicken Recipe

We love General Tso’s Chicken! It’s absolutely delicious! Unfortunately, it’s far too expensive to eat out all of the time, so we have learned to make it on our own!

If you’d like a shortcut to make General Tso’s Chicken, you could use pre-made chicken chunks, but for the cost and health benefits I certainly suggest trying it out from scratch!  It isn’t hard, I promise!

• 1 lb boneless chicken, skinned and cubed
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 c cornstarch, 2 tsp cornstarch
• 1 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 tbsp rice wine
• 3 tbsp sugar
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 sm onion, cut into squares
• 1 green bell pepper, cut into squares
• Oil for deep frying

1.  Mix cornstarch and eggs in a large bowl, add in chicken and coat thoroughly.

2.  Prepare the sauce by combining 2 tsp cornstarch, wine, vinegar, sugar and soy sauce in a small bowl.

3.  Heat oil for frying.

4.  Fry chicken in batches so that chicken is just cooked.

5.  Remove chicken and let stand to drain off some grease.

6.  In only a couple of tbsp of oil, fry onion and bell pepper.  When they are almost done, add in chicken and stir fry until chicken reaches a crispy brown.

7.  Add the sauce in and continue to stir fry.  Toss around for a couple of minutes, until sauce becomes a glaze.

Serve over rice and enjoy!
