Directions
General Tso’s Chicken II, , I will definitely make this recipe again, but if you are looking for the crispy coated General Tso’s Chicken, this isn’t it. It is still really good! If you are wondering, as I was, about the dried peppers, you are supposed to saute’ them whole in the oil., okay, but this needs work. i thought the sauce was too hot and vinegary. this is not the sauce you are used to getting at chinese restaurants, too thin and light colored. also, very messy to make. i needed more than 1/2 cup oil to fry and the chicken took four batches and too long to cook. however, my husband and a coworker both said they liked it and it reheated well. i would try again and add either a some hoisin sauce or red bean paste to darken up the sauce and cut the vinegar in half. also, i would omit the red chiles and use chili paste instead.
