General Tso Ain't Got Nothing On Me!

General Tso's Chicken is a well-known dish in America but not even Wikipedia has a clue where the name came from. In fact, just like Kung Pao and Orange Chicken, there are endless recipes and ways to make it. Tonight, I made my simple version using once again, Tyson's Chicken Strips. The sauce mixture was sweet and spicy and really good on the crispy chicken! See, cooking yourself really is faster and WAY better than takeout!

Ingredients:


2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 Tbsp rice wine
3 Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp cornstarch
1 lb crispy chicken strips
1 Tbsp oil
5 dried red chili peppers
3 green onions, sliced + more for garnish
1 Tbsp ginger, minced
2 tsp garlic, minced
Rice, for serving


Prep:


1. In a small bowl combine rice vinegar, rice wine, soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside. Heat chicken according to package directions.


2. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add dried chili peppers and green onions and stir fry for 30 seconds. Add ginger and garlic and stir fry for another 30 seconds.


3. Add sauce mixture to the wok and cook stirring until the sauce becomes thickened and bubbly, 5 minutes. Add chicken and toss to coat with sauce.


4. Serve on rice garnished with more green onions.
