General Tso's Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/3 cup water or chicken stock, mixed with
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 Tbsp. dry sherry
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 2 large cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 4 whole boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup oil (I use less in nonstick skillet)
  • 5 dried hot red chilies
  • 1/2 lb. snow peas, steamed 1 minute

Instructions

Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, water or chicken and cornstarch mixture, dry sherry, sesame oil, garlic and ginger; set aside. Combine egg and cornstarch mixture well. Add chicken and toss to coat. Heat oil until hot; fry chicken in batches until crisp and brown (do not crowd pan). Drain on paper towels. Pour off all but 2 teaspoons oil from pan. Add chilies and toss for a few seconds. Return chicken to pan with soy sauce mixture and cook until glazed (1 to 2 minutes). Add pea pods; cook 1 more minute. Serve immediately. If reheating, cut down on cooking time. Serves 6 to 8.
