General Tso's Chicken Recipe • Tssooo Tasty! | Club Foody

 

I enjoy Chinese cuisine but prefer making my favorite dishes at home for several reasons. Without going into too much detail, I’ll highlight just a couple…
 
In my opinion, I find their food has a high sodium content which is not really healthy. Every time I went out to a restaurant or did take-out, the next day, my scale reads 4 pounds more. My body just retained all the liquid. Another reason to make it at home is I’m in control of the ingredients and the intensity of the flavors. Wonton Soup for example is very good but I always found it was a little on the “blah” side therefore making it from scratch gives me the perfect balance of flavor that I want.

I’ve already shared several Chinese inspired recipes like my Mandarin Chicken, Char Siu Pork, Slow Cooker Pepper Beef, and many more… Another favorite of mine is General Tso’s Chicken! What a recipe! It’s sweet and just spicy enough to bring deliciousness to the dish!
 
I like to marinate my chicken pieces for 30 minutes before frying them. As the meat absorbs it, it gives a deeper dimension of flavor to it. An ingredient I add to the sauce is chili oil and this alone brings some spiciness to it. I prefer making this condiment from scratch and here’s the link for it… Chili Oil
 
General Tso’s Chicken is tasty but also quite quick and easy to make. After the marinating passive time, in less than 20 minutes you’re ready to eat. Frying in batches might take 10 minutes all together and then making the sauce is perhaps another 5 minutes. When adding the chicken to the sauce then rapidly coating and heating them through, there’s another 2 to 3 minutes to it… done! Seriously it doesn’t take much time at all! One thing you shouldn’t do is to leave the fried chicken pieces in the sauce too long because they’ll lose their crispiness.
 
David and I love this dish! It’s quick and easy to make and so flavorful. General Tso’s Chicken is a great comfort food we like to enjoy on weeknights when our schedules are hectic. It’s definitely a nice recipe to have on hand…
Bon Appétit!
