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.

That's how it is for me...I just walk right to myrtle and harman and there's a chinese spot right thurrrr....

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.

repped and dapped for this...
