General Tso Chicken Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Chicken
Cut the boneless chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Coat them evenly with cornstarch.
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken pieces and fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Make the Sauce
In the same skillet, add a little more oil if needed and sauté the minced garlic and ginger for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar. Stir well and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Combine and Serve
Return the fried chicken to the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. Add the sesame oil and chopped green onions. Serve hot over cooked jasmine rice, garnished with sesame seeds.
