How to Make General Tso's Chicken
Learn how to make General Tso's chicken. It has 16 oz of sweet and spicy stir fry chicken with vegetables.
Recipe:
Brief History: Because of the name, I did a little digging, and it came from chefs that left China and moved to the United States in the late mid 1900s. The General Tso's chicken dish has references to hunanese dishes. The General Tso's Chicken dish doesn't have any proof of connection yet to the general. Its a sweet and spicy dish.
Addtional info: I just watched a documentary on search for general tso on netflix and found that the first original recipe came from Chef Peng from the hunan area that moved to Taiwan and thats where it first originated from. However, general tso's dish has evolved from peng's orginal recipe where in america, we added sugar to the recipe.
