General Tsos Chicken Tso Chung Gai

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I agree that the volume of the sauce should be doubled as well. However, doubling every ingredient in the sauce turned out to be too salty. (5 tablespoons of soy sauce for 1 lbs of chicken? Using common sense, that's too much). Next time I make this, I will probably replace 30 to 50% of the soy sauce and hoisin sauce with water.
