I had a request for General Tso's Chicken. Here it is!
General Tso's Chicken - Hands on Kitchen
Very American dish!!!! I tried to keep it as Chinese as I could but. after adding the sugar. pretty much all hope is lost =)
This dish tasted the same as the local Chinese restaurants in this area. Color was a tad bit off due to not using food coloring. but other then that it was yummy. Gen Tso's Chicken IMO is way to sweet, but, that's what this dish is about.
