General Tso's Chicken

General Tso's Chicken

Ingredients

1 lb chicken thighs, boned and cubed

3 eggs, beaten

1/2 cup cornstarch, plus

2 teaspoons cornstarch

5 dried chili pods

1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar

2 tablespoons rice wine

3 tablespoons sugar

3 tablespoons soy sauce

Method

Cut up the chicken

Mixthe cornstarch and eggs.

Coat the chicken with the cornstarch mixture.

Fry the chicken.

Let the fried chicken pieces drain on some paper towls.

Make the sauce using cornstarch, soy sauce, rice vinegar, rice wine, sugar and chili paste (only if you want more heat).

Next add some chili pods to the wok with some oil and cooked them on low heat to release their aroma.

Once you have decent aroma, turn the heat onto high and add the fried chicken pices and allow them to reheat and crisp up. Be careful not to burn the chili pods, if they start to remove them.

Once crisp add the sauce and cook and toss until it was thick and bubbly.

Tada! Time to eat, you also add some sesame seeds, if you like them.
