Man, honestly all fried rice is good.

Seriously, I've always wondered...why is the majority of chinese food so good? I've never had bad chinese food period...except americanized chinese food from Giant Eagle (it's a Pittsburgh thing...you wouldn't understand)lol.

cuz we had thousands of years of practice. shyt better be piff

general tso chicken takes talent to pull off because you need the right chicken consistency and the right sauce. The chicken is chicken thigh, they cut it up into small pieces and they marinate it very simply because most of the flavor is from the sauce. The secret to how crispy that chicken is that they use water chestnut powder which will give you a very crispy coating. I think someone should make fried chicken with water chestnut powder.

The sauce is the same as the regular chicken broccoli sauce except they add vinegar and sugar.

I've made it at home and it's about 90% there. I just can't get the chicken as crispy and the sauce gets over powered by the vinegar. You got a recipe?

I eat pretty healthy so I avoid the Chinese spots now. I'd rather learn to make it myself and control the salt and sugar.

General Tso Chicken

So good yet so bad for you.

When I first moved to NY I had a Chinese Food spot literally right across the street from my house. I ate so much General Tso Chicken I eventually got sick of it.

I might order some when the NBA Finals start.

The way to prepare the chicken is to get boneless thighs, cut them up into bite sizes, then you have to do a process called silkening. Basically you add in egg white, a tiny bit of baking powder, and water chestnut powder. It should look more like a batter rather than something dry and powdery like fried chicken. The batter is what will give it that crisp. For sauce, the way we made it was complicated, 3 types of soy sauce, bunch of herbs and aromatics, etc. You can order individual sauce packets if you're near a chinese supermarket, it's in the sauce aisle, get the lee kum kee brand and they got like 50 types of sauces. The vinegar you need rice wine vinegar which is not as potent as regular vinegar.
