General Tso's Chicken

Ingredients

4 large chicken legs
1 egg
1/2 tbsp cornstarch
1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 green onions
1 1/2 tbsps light soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsps mushroom soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsps rice wine or dry sherry

3 tbsps chicken bouillon
1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

Serves 4. Bone and cut the chicken into 1/2 inch pieces, combine it with the egg, oil and cornstarch. Combine the ingredients for Sauce 1. Warm 2 serving dishes, one lined with paper towel, in a 250 degree oven. Fill a wok to a depth of 1 1/2 to 2 inches with oil, heat to high (400deg), or a day-old cube of bread browns in just under a minute. Heat for another 4 mins. Put the chicken pieces in the oil, then stir fry for 3 mins. Remove the chicken, and keep warm in the paper-lined dish in the oven. Empty the oil from the wok, reduce the heat to medium (350deg) and stir in Sauce 1. As soon as it bubbles, stir in the chicken. Sprinkle sauce 2 over the chicken, stir fry for another minute, then turn into the warm serving dish. Scrape the sauce over the chicken, and serve at once.
