GENERAL TSO CHICKEN....
Hi Ho everybody!! On today's menu we have a delish Chinese dish..
General Tso Chicken
quick ..simple and really scrummy!..Served with either fried rice or plain rice...whatever you fancy or have time for :)
SAUCE:
1/2 cup chicken stock..I use Massel liquid stock
2 TBS Hoisen Sauce
2 TBS Chinese rice wine vinegar
2 TBS soy sauce.. I use salt reduced.
1 1/2 TBS sugar
2 TBS sesame oil
1 Tbs corn flour.
2 to 3 chicken breasts
2 eggs beaten
plain flour for dusting
sesame seeds
brocollini (baby brocolli)
spring onions (shallots) inch pieces
3 fresh garlic cloves..finely chopped
2---3 slivers fresh ginger..finely sliced
mix your sauce ingredients together..adding cornflour last.....put aside..
cut up how ever much spring onions and brocollini you like...
cut the chicken into bite size pieces
dip into beaten eggs
roll each piece in flour
deep fry your chicken in vegetable oil..
till golden brown. remove and drain on paper
In the meantime add some vegetable oil...not much.... to hot wok..add your garlic and ginger.cook for a minute..add the brocollini and spring onion...cook for another minute..add the sauce...till bubbling. Add the fried chicken..cook for a minute and sprinkle with sesame seeds...for another minute...and your done!!
I promise it tastes just like a chinese takeaway..minus the MSG!
