General Tso Chicken Incredibly easy to make
 

I like Chinese food but don't like to go out for it. This is a very simple recipe to make. I served it with ham fried rice and stir fried veggies for dinner last Sunday.

Heat enough vegetable or peanut oil in a large fry pan just to cover the bottom. When oil is hot, add the chicken and cook, turning occasionaly until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.

1 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp red chili flakes
2 Tblsp cornstarch

Optional: for a sweeter sauce add 1-2 Tblsp Duck Sauce, for a spicier sauce add 1 tsp chili oil or more red pepper flakes. Note: This makes about 2 cups of sauce so you can use about 1/2 cup of it for your stir fry sauce as well if you like.

Combine all sauce ingredients in a pan and stir until constarch is completely dissolved. Heat to a slight boil and stir for about 5 minutes until thickened. Serve over chicken. My family loved it.

Thanks for this recipe! Gen Tso's chicken is my favorite. Bookmarked it and will definitely be making this one sometime next week. Can't wait!!

Where do you get chili oil and rice vinegar? General Tso's chicken is my very favorite. Thanks for the recipe!

chili oil, sometimes called Mongolian Fire oil is usually on the Asian foods aisle in the grocery store. Look closely as it eluded me about 5 times the other day. Rice vinegar should just be by all the other vinegars on the aisle that has ketchup and salad dressings. Hope that helps.
