General Tso's Chicken
RECIPE COURTESY OF JET TILA
Level: Easy
Total: 30 min
Active: 30 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients
Chicken:
1 1/2 cups (335 grams) broccoli florets
1 1/2 quarts (1.8 liters) vegetable oil, plus 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) for stir-frying
2 pounds (900 grams) boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch (3-centimeter) dice
1 1/2 cups (335 grams) tempura flour, plus 1 cup (223 grams) for dredging
1 cup (240 milliliters) cold water
1/2 onion, cut into large dice
10 to 12 whole dried Thai chiles
1/2 tablespoon (8 grams) minced ginger root
1/2 tablespoon (5 grams) chopped garlic
Sauce:
1/2 cup (90 milliliters) oyster sauce
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) chili garlic sauce
1/2 cup (95 grams) sugar
6 tablespoons (90 milliliters) white vinegar
2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) soy sauce
1 tablespoon (7 grams) cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) water
1 drop red food coloring (optional)
3 scallions, sliced on the bias
Directions
For the chicken: Place your broccoli florets in a medium bowl and add 2 tablespoons water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes, until tender. Drain and set aside until ready to use.
Heat the oil in a 4-quart (3.8-liter) Dutch oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) using a frying thermometer. Rinse the chicken in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Mix 1 1/2 cups (335 grams) of the tempura flour and 1 cup (240 milliliters) water into a thick batter. It should look like thick pancake batter. Dredge the chicken cubes in the 1 cup (223 grams) of tempura flour and then coat them in the batter. Fry them in two batches until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the chicken on paper towels or a rack.
Heat a wok or large skillet to high and add 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of oil. When you see the first wisps of white smoke, stir in the fried chicken, onion, chiles, broccoli, and 1/3 of the ginger and garlic and cook them for about 30 seconds.
For the sauce: While the chicken cooks, add the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, sugar, white vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch slurry, red food coloring if using, 1/3 cup water and the remaining chopped ginger and garlic into a 1-quart (946-millileter) saucepan and bring the heat up to medium. Whisk gently as it comes to a simmer. Allow it to simmer and keep whisking it for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and reserve it.
Stir in the sauce and allow it to coat the chicken and simmer. Cook it, folding all the ingredients until they are well coated, about 2 minutes. Garnish with the scallions.

EASY GENERAL TSO CHICKEN
General Tso Chicken is pretty simple and everyone has their own version. This is one of my versions of the dish. Sometimes I change things up a bit by adding Ginger wine to the marinade or batter frying the chicken or making it very crispy with a heavier coating AND double frying the chicken like I do my Korean chicken wings. Please remember to taste the sauce and adjust to your liking of savoury or sweet. Hope you enjoy! Happy cooking????

2 boneless chicken breasts/thighs, cubed
2 tsps Chinese wine (Shaoxing ideally)
2 tsps sesame oil

1/2 cup cornstarch

2 tsps garlic powder
1 tsp ginger powder
Salt and pepper

Oil for frying (if frying the chicken)
1 tbsp Oil
4 or 5 dry red chilies(you may use the tiny ones. I used what I had at home ????)
4 cloves garlic minced finely
1 tbsp finely minced fresh ginger
----------
Sauce liquid mixture:
1/2 cup unsalted chicken broth
1 tsp hoisin sauce
1 1/2 - 2 tbsp soy sauce(the colour of your soy sauce will determine how dark your final sauce will be)

1/2 - 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
3 tbsp Brown sugar (more or less)
