Total Time 30 minutes

Prep Time 10 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound boneless (skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-size pieces)
¼ cup reduced sodium soy sauce (divided*)
¼ cup cornstarch (divided)
1 large egg white
1 (1-inch) piece peeled fresh ginger
2 cloves garlic
2 medium scallions (whites and greens separated)
1 cup reduced sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon sriracha sauce (plus more for serving)
3 tablespoons hoisin*
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
sesame seeds (for garnish)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 3 tablespoons cornstarch and egg white. Toss to combine and set aside while you chop the vegetables.
  • Mince the garlic and ginger and chop the scallions. Separate the scallion whites from the greens and set aside greens for garnish.
  • Heat a small sauce pot over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, ginger, garlic and scallion whites. Sauté for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, sriracha, and hoisin and whisk to combine. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch and whisk sauce until starting to thicken, about 2 minutes. Once thickened, turn heat to low and keep warm while you make the chicken.
  • Heat a large wok or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. In two batches to prevent sticking, add 1/2 tablespoon of sesame oil then half of the chicken pieces. Cook chicken for 3-4 minutes, or until browned on the edges. Flip chicken and cook an additional 2-3 minutes, or until cooked through. Set aside on a plate and add the remaining oil and chicken as directed.
  • Return the chicken back to the skillet or wok, add the sauce to the skillet and toss to coat. Sprinkle with scallion greens and sesame seeds. Serve immediately with extra sriracha, if desired.

GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN RECIPE | JET TILA | FOOD NETWORK
There's been a lot of rumor about the origins of this dish; I'll let others fight it out and just focus on its deliciousness! I think that the human palate is drawn to the combination of savory, sour, sweet, salty and spicy. I think that's why we all love this dish. There's a huge difference between the popular sambal oelek and Chinese chili garlic sauce. Sambal is very easy to find but it's twice as hot as chili garlic. So, if you are using sambal, use half the amount.

GENERAL TSO’S CHICKEN RECIPE - NYT COOKING
General Tso’s chicken is named for Tso Tsung-t’ang, a 19th-century general who is said to have enjoyed eating it. The Hunanese have a strong military tradition, and Tso is one of their best-known historical figures. But although many Chinese dishes are named after famous personages, there is no record of any dish named after Tso. The real roots of the recipe lie in the aftermath of the Chinese civil war, when the leadership of the defeated Nationalist Party fled to the island of Taiwan. They took with them many talented people, including a number of notable chefs, and foremost among them was Peng Chang-kuei. He created this dish in 1950s Taiwan, and brought it with him when he moved to the states in 1973, making it sweeter for American palates. This version is adapted from the original, hot and sour and lacking the sweetness of its Americanized counterpart.
