General Tso's Chicken

I love Chinese food, but for some reason I always thought that it was really hard to make so I had little desire to make it. I found a recipe for one of my favorite Chinese foods, General Tso's chicken. It is really easy to make and it is very delicious (as are all of the recipes on my blog). 享用

Ingredients:


1lb boneless skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1” chunks)
5 dried red chili peppers
3 green onions (sliced)
3 eggs (beaten)
½ cup cornstarch
oil (for frying)
Sauce-
1 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons rice wine
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch

Recipe: 
In a large mixing bowl combine cornstarch and beaten eggs. Mix well to create a batter. Add chicken bits and coat thoroughly. Make the sauce, in a small bowl combine rice vinegar, rice wine, soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside. Heat deep fryer or wok to 375 degrees and deep fried chicken bits in batches. Drain on paper towels. Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil to your wok. Add dried chili peppers to your wok and stir fry for 30 seconds. Add chicken bits to the wok and stir fry for a couple minutes. Add sauce mixture to the wok and cook stirring until the sauce becomes thickened and bubbly. If you want it to be a little spicier you can add chile paste to the sauce.
