How to Cook Perfect General Tso's Chicken Every Time

[@reece1929]

I can watch this gentleman all day. He's quick but smooth, and when he's finished, I'm never confused. Thank you for another great recipe.

[@TasteShow]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@wonderingwanderer3605]

General Tso is my favorite chinese dish. The spicy, the SLIGHT sweet, the beautiful red sauce, and those peppers! Man, I could go for some general tso, now. 😋😋😋

[@KnightofSnowdonia]

I made this yesterday and it turned out perfect. One thing i would suggest to anyone making it is to start with about 15g of sugar and build up the sweetness cause 50g of sugar was TOO much as well as 1/4 cup of honey. Besides all that just follow it step by step and you will be fine. Great recipe. Before i forget, some veg wouldn't go amiss, i think next time i would put some peppers and onions. Enjoy.

You've become my cooking hero...through and through.

So beautiful, this is food artistry in it's highest form. And it also just happens to taste amazing as well. Cheers from America to the Chinese people and thank you for sharing your culture with us again!

[@SaburoOkita]

1:10 when the fried chickens hit the pan, and you hear the clank. That's my pavlovian bell. I'm gonna try this recipe soon.

[@TasteShow]

Tell us how it goes.

Great call / perfect description, clank in the pan, you know that is crisp!

General Tso's is one of my favorites. The dish looks awesome!

[@TasteShow]

Thank you 😊

[@chapcat54]

Ahhhh. I'm currently basking in the afterglow of one of the finest meals I have ever cooked. Outstanding...much better than all but the very finest Chinese restaurants have served me, and I have eaten a lot of General Tso's chicken over the years. Thank you so much Master Chef Zhang. This is now my go to recipe for making it at home, as it tops all the other home recipes I have tried. I made it almost exactly as you demonstrated. I reduced the honey by half, as I feared it might be a little too sweet for my palate. I also did not add the chilis to the sauce, but instead added them with the garlic and stir fried them a bit. Next time I might try adding a bit of sesame oil to the sauce, but I hate to mess with perfection.

[@PoeLemic]

Thanks for letting the rest of us know how good it is. I plan to make this sometime soon. We can't eat out anymore with the Pandemic, so cooking at home -- is how we live now.

[@chapcat54]

@@PoeLemic You are most welcome. As Chef Zhang stated in the video, and I too have always believed it is so, the key to good General Tso's chicken is the flavor of the sauce. In my opinion, far too many restaurants, and especially the all you can eat buffets, serve the dish with a ketchup based sauce that just does not taste as good. The oyster sauce and honey base is just far superior. Also, make sure your chicken chunks are not too small. Otherwise, to get the crispiness, your chicken will end up dry and leathery. Another fault often found in the lesser restaurants. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.

[@YoMumzinnit]

Made on first night of 2020, thank you Chef, it was DELICIOUS.

[@befriendmywater142]

One cannot find General Tso's Chicken in China because it is a dish invented in the US by Chinese chefs, however this dish follows 100% Chinese way of cooking, so it is a pure Chinese dish, just like in China new dishes are invented frequently to adapt to customers' taste.

[@spikebaltar5071]

@@ucsdrules : The inventor is from *China* and is born in *China* that uses the influence of Hunan cuisine, which is a province in *China* to create General Tso's Chicken. Taiwan is mention because they just want a piece of China's clouts 👋👋👋

Best General tso’s chicken I’ve ever seen, my dad hates oyster sauce so I use hoisin which is a good substitute and I use a tiny bit of dark soy sauce and minced ginger and I switch water with chicken broth. Also dried chilies don’t exist where I live so I use chili flake

@@TasteShow would adding chicken stock ruin the sauce?

[@thegooddieyoung6530]

Quick, simple and really GOOD WOW!!

[@melissawong4125]

Gonna try this recipe. I think the sauce must come to a boil and thicken first before adding the fried chicken because otherwise, the chicken can become soft.

[@Soxruleyanksdrool]

As a kid, I only ever ordered pepper steak when my family got Chinese. Then one time I tried General Taos chicken because I like spicy and heneral taos is spicy. I only got that for about 30 years. Then I tried shrimp mei fun (with the skinny noodles) because I like both shrimp and noodles and so for the last 10 years or so I've only been getting that. Cool story, huh?
