Tso funny..

I have to confess I used this recipe of yours in my restaurant last friday, we call it asian Fridays. As this was a success I just had to come back and say thank you. Thank you. It was delicious.
Hey! Where is your restaurant located? it's very sympatic and humble, not to mention it in your question.
But here is an "outsider", asking for it. And it should be the best kind of advertisement, to find a restaurant owner/chef here, still curious about new things to try and then serve at their own restaurant.
Greetings from the far north of Germany!
Yeah, I made this last night. This was a great recipe.
I was there and it was AWESOME!! I love your "Asian Fridays"
It does look delicious, I'm going to try and make this dish.
Lol “Asian Friday” wow ! so exotic !
You are serious "the MAN", dude! I love making stir-fry so much more now because of this channel. My stir-fry game has seriously escalated in my family's eyes since I started implementing the techniques you show. Thanks so much!
Great to hear! Wok on! - Lee
Jeremy has answered the age-old question: Which came first… the chicken or the egg. The chicken went in the mixing bowl at 1:30, and the egg followed at 2:03.
Just made this tonight, it was delicious. Had to use fresh birds eye chili instead of dried so it punched a bit of heat, but better than 90% of takeouts easily!
watching this at 2 am hits different
Good stuff! Thank you
I'm impressed with your knife work... Plus you did bring a new dimension to this recipe... Thank you for your presentation.. Chef David
Thank you! - Lee
The recipe is a good one, my wife's favourite, with regard to the knife skills, If you watch carefully when slicing the ginger, you were trying to go fast, but missing the ginger several times, good knife work is about efficiency not just speed.
Paul Marshall - what’s your point? He wasn’t trying to impress you w knife skills. Chefs that are good, chop w/I thinking - oh now I missed.
This process for General Tso's Chicken is nothing short of high culinary art.
Thanks! - Lee
@@SchoolofWok most Chinese restaurants where I live just fry frozen breaded chicken and then add sauce and serve with rice.
Daaaaamn, that is sad... The restaurant near my house cooks the chicken and then leaves it on a hot plate until its overcooked to death.
Bought all the stuff to make this. Double fried the chicken. This is awesome. Best I have ever had. I had the video going on a tablet. I can't wait to make it again. Thank you!
SHOCKED! The very first time I cooked Chinese food. It tasted like my favorite NY restaurant!!! And I can't cook! This recipe is top shelf.
Very nice job. That was easy to watch and follow. It looks really good.
Thanks Daniel, give it a shot - it was delicious! - Lee
The most detailed General Tao/Tso recipe that I have ever seen, and most authentic! I was waiting for you to serve this with rice, no worries! I will! I love this, and will make it tomorrow, thank you!
Thank you, we're glad you found it useful! - Lee
but you didn't make it so your opinion doesn't matter.
this is far and away the best recipe i've found on youtube for general tso's chicken. i surprised myself by how good it tasted the first time i made it. i threw in some szechuan peppercorns alongside the chilis when the recipe calls for them to hit the wok - was a nice additional flavor
That chicken is authentic and very traditional. Tasty too
Very tasty I just love this recipe very well done God bless you
Thank you! - Lee
Not a good idea to watch this while being hungry
I feel your pain - Lee
amen
Yeah! True hahaha. I work until late at night but before logging out I came to watch this video. OMG! I kept on swallowing after that. Ewww..hungry!
I would SO love to be able to know how to do Velvety chicken corn soup
I’m watching this while on quarantine 😒
Wow! So far this is the best recipe for General Tso,s
Thank you! - Chris
You are a really good presenter, I enjoyed watching this as you explained everything clearly. Why on Earth haven't you got your own cookery show on TV?
Thank you! We're working on it! - Lee
@@SchoolofWok I hope it works out, I'll watch every episode. Good Luck.
@@SchoolofWok will it be on in the United States? Just wondering because I like Jeremy's recipes one of these days I'm going to try them!
Thank you so much for your videos, Lee! This recipe, in particular, is great. I have cooked different General Tso's recipes but this one is by far the best. Simple ingredients but they work so well together! Keep it up!
Thanks! But it's Jeremy that does all of the recipes!
Is there a modification for air fryers
I made this tonight. Absolutely amazing! I watched this video last night and immediately deleted all general tso's recipes in my library except yours, even before I tasted it bc I knew yours would be the best and it was by far. Ty so much!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support! - Lee
Beautiful recipe
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! - Lee
I love how you cook....and mines came out great!!! Completely in love with your accent!!!!!!
Thank you April, I'm very glad to hear that! - Lee
Ps. I was born in April and my name is Lee, what a coincidence
"Mines"....... lol!!!
Faith Shawver lmao
Your personality is like a breath of fresh air...plus I LOVE your technique!
Thank you! - Lee
Looks amazing! Can't wait to try this recipe.
Very well presented. Thank you
I've never actually looked into cooking General Tso's chicken. Thanks to this video, I don't need to look for any other videos. Really good explanation on the process, and now I'm going to have to look for some of these ingredients locally.
Let us know how it goes when you make it! - Lee
Instant sub, just found my favorite channel. This is my absolute favorite dish to eat!! Love the extra crispy chicken, I've been trying to cook several Wok dishes, always fun and delicious!!
Love your channel, Thank you.
Thank you! - Lee

I miss the crapy Safeway general tso
My mouth is watering. 🤤😁
Watching you cook these delicious-looking dishes makes me viciously hungry. Your wife is lucky to have you do the cooking!
Never thought it was possible to make this at home. Keep these up please, you're inspiring home chefs
This is great to hear, thank you for your feedback! - Lee
Thank you so much for this video! Million thumbsup! I cooked it just now and all employees I'm feeding likes it and they took picture of it too!
Excellent! Glad to hear it went down so well, send your pictures to us on Facebook or Instagram! - Lee
This looks absolutely amazing!
Thank you so much! - YOLO
Definitely trying it..
Even though I have never heard of this dish and even though I can't handle spicy food, After watching u I am dying to try it. Love wok Wednesday. Thank u
Just reduce the amount of chillis that go into it and it'll still be delicious and less spicy for you
It's one of the most popular dishes in US Chinese restaurants.
@@SchoolofWok yeah that should tamp down the spiciness a bit!
Just made this tonight. Came out excellent! Thank you very much! :-)
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Cook it for your friends, they will love you for it! - Lee
I LOVE GENERAL TSO CHICKEN AND ORANGE SHRIMP AND CHICKEN TOO MY FRIEND
Love this recipe!! 💖
I just wok up and watch this..
You the man love this ,,, thank you for sharing your amazing cultural foods with us , brilliant
“Toss that wok through”
Me : proceeds to carefully mix it
Hahaha - Lee
A Chinese Harry potter! How cute he is.He can cook for me in the kitchen or the bedroom.Really good presentation, Knowledgeable and well spoken. I watch a lot of cooking videos and this defiantly is among the best.
Thank you Chef !! Favorite dish!!
Awesome video and channel. This video alone has made me a follower. I've got to try this recipe! Two thumbs up to you bro!
Much appreciated, thanks for the support! - Lee
Same here man
Made this a couple of times since watching the video, it tastes amazing. Singapore noodles next I think!
AB I would love to see you make this on your amazing channel. I know it would be FIRE!🔥

As someone who used to thoroughly enjoy turkey twizzlers, I am offended. - Lee
School of Wok don’t get me wrong, you made a great video man. The hair, glasses and accent got to me like water through a sieve.😅
U said it perfectly
Better than Jamie Oliver FUIYOH!
I’ve seen many recipes for this dish but you’re the only one I’ve seen so far who “syrup-ifies” 🤪 the sauce first. Makes an awesome difference!!! Go man!!!
That is the business Bro!
Let's WOK, around the clock! 🙏🍲🍜🙏
Dragon Ramsey "WHERE IS THE SOIII SAUCE"
Omg 😍❤️ u making me hungry for this recipe
Well now you can make it! - Lee
OK. I've had this dish on both coasts and its never been my favorite. For some reason, I saw this video, went out and got the few extra ingredients that I didn't have, made it and now, finally, I understand why this dish is so popular. Just the best recipe--not too sweet, not too glumpy. I ate the whole batch. Deep frying is sort of a pain so next time I'll made a huge pile and invite friends over. Thanks so much!
Excellent! I'm glad we've converted you haha! Your friends will love you forever if you make this for them! - Lee
I just found this video and your site! Wow, you are very fun to watch and very talented! I'm already hungry for some General Tso's Chicken!
Thank you Keith! - Lee
Oh this looks so good that I want to break through my computer screen and grab a bowl.
We're not responsible for any broken monitors - Lee
California, senior couple here. New to your channel. You made that dish look scrumptious and easy. A few questions and suggestions …
Would love to see a video of how you use your chopsticks so adeptly. I have tried and could never pick anything up with them.
Questions: what kind of oil did you use to fry the chicken?
How and what do you do with the oil after frying? What do you pour it into for disposal? How or where do you dispose of it?
My wife and I appreciate how you talk through the ingredients to get a better understanding of the flavor they provide. As you can tell from the questions, we are just beginning our journey into Chinese cooking. You appear to be a great teacher for that.
Lastly, if you don’t have a video on your channel for a spicy dish with thin crispy fried noodles with pork or chicken, or both. And a really good sweet and spicy sauce.
Thanks

Wow Charap Charaaaaap! Yummy sa tummy for sure.... 😍😍😍😍😍
Just found your channel and subscribed!! This looks absolutely delish and I can't wait to try your recipe. Thank you!
Thanks for the support! - Lee
This is hands down my favorite food. If you put 5 pounds of it and lo mein down in front of me, I'll finish it or hurt myself trying.
I like your style - Lee
do you make Mapo Doufu?
Great recipe and clearly presented, thanks
Thank you! - Lee
such a better version of this dish than we have here in the US where it is seldom crispy at all. Chinese food is so much better in the UK where each Chinese restaurant has a unique way of making their dishes. I remember a place in Norfolk that garnished their General Tso’s Chicken with a finely cut fried seaweed seasoned with salt and sugar.
Can't wait to go get the stuff to prepare it your way!
How did it turn out? We hope it was delicious for you! - ee
+School of Wok I made it and OMG, better than take out, better tasting too, thanks for teaching delicious recipe for home cooking!
damn this looks SO GOOD!!!
It was! - Lee
I made this (and a few other recipes on your channel) and now my family thinks I'm a spectacular chef. Thanks Jeremy, I'm now a loyal School of Wok student. I just bought one of your books today and can't wait to make more of your magnificent meals. Thanks again!!!
Excellent stuff, glad to hear it! Which book did you buy? They both have some fantastic recipes in! - Lee
@@SchoolofWok I bought Essential Chinese Cooking
Just found your cooking videos. They are fantastic. I will follow you, I love Chinese food of any kind. And yes I do have a well-seasoned carbon steel wok. Had it for over 30 years. Best regards.
Brilliant can't wait to make this
Thanks, John! Hope it goes down a treat!
You'll love it. Trust me.
ok i'm hungry now
Welcome to my world! - Lee
Lots of really good ideas here to make this extra special. Incorporating the stock ahead, the double fry technique and the use of sauces outside the box. I will be giving this one a try.
Let us know how it goes, it is so good! - Lee
I've probably watched them all and this is by far the best General Tso recipe on YT
Asian Gordon Ramsay
Theo Chou face not rubbery enough
haha was thinking the same
Not at all like Ramsey. He went the whole way without cussing anyone out. More like an Asian Chef John, I'd say.
@@randomuser778 don't disrespect Chief. Ramsey.
Nah, he’s a way better human being than Ramsey. Gordon Ramsey is just nasty. I’d never eat at his restaurants, I don’t care if he can make shit taste like caviar, his awful personality would ruin the experience.
I really love the energy and passion in these videos. You can really tell that this is a channel made more from passion than a pursuit of revenue.
Thank you! - Lee
Totally agree, his passion makes me wanna watch more
I've tried very very yummy
Love your video you make it look so simple can't wait to try this!great voice your video is awesome thanks for doing it we need more of these so we don't have to order out again thanks for your demos looks so yummy 😋
You're welcome Joanne! Thank you for the support! - Lee
Indian cooking is all about spices and Chinese cooking is all about sauces.
Sourabh Chakraborty you are wrong there. Try to do a lot of Chinese cooking and you will understand better.
Chinese food rules.
bit like your posts...?
penderhakamoral that's one hell of a generalization
And Austrian food is all about the big juicy Wienerschnitzel that men and women crave !
Tell us more precisely how hot the wok is guys,ie is it say 8/10 or 6/10 etc,most mistakes with the wok are temperature mis management,love the videos,my family love recipes ❤️
We'll start doing that, thanks for the suggestion! - Lee
Like Ive done with a couple of your recipes, I've used the sauce element only and used it with meat or veg in a different dish. This time was bao buns with chicken nuggets and all the trimmings, the sauce made it and was just soooooo nice. Thanks again! 😊👍
Made this tonight... amazed by the freshness of it... had to duck out and when I came back I could smell the dinner all the way down the building hallway... just made me hungry all over again...
It's so tasty isn't it!
@@SchoolofWok Lemon Chicken has been requested by the wife and kids next... or a pho (just watched the chicken pho vid)...
I like Jeremey. He’s a nice chap
He's a top bloke! - Lee
Great recipe n moreover your accent r mind blowing 😱😱
I'm hungry
Go cook some food! - Lee
Looks delish!
Thanks! - Lee
Tried this recipe and it’s so good!! My family loved it.
Actually this dish is not existed in China, but I like it as a Chinese.
It is a very western take on Asian cooking! - Lee
School of Wok yeah that’s why it is so popular all over the world
By corn flour does he mean corn “starch”?
Yes, we call corn starch "corn flour" in the UK! - Lee
Good to know haha
School of Wok Thank you!!! Recipe looks awesome!!
Had a discussion with a Brit and he said corn starch/flour is kinda unusual so they use potato flour instead.
School of wok already explained
Nice recipes but the background music is a distraction I can do without, thanks for sharing definitely will give this a try soon.
This and Orange Chicken are my two favorite (westernized) Chinese dishes. Thank you!
You're welcome! - Lee
Can you please put the recipe. The recipe link doesn’t work.

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying our videos! - Lee
Made this this week very delicious
Glad you liked it!
Delicious thank you 😊
Ok, I've almost secured every ingredient to make this. Even the black vinegar. But where do you get chicken?
Your neighbors' yard.
@@healinggrounds19 thats not nice
I've been sat here reading this comment over and over and can't figure out whether or not it's a genuine question - Lee
At Chickens-R-Us
@@destroyer-fr4dz my neighbors' rooster crows all morning, as roosters are prone to do. I work nights. No bueno, mr. rooster. One of these days he might be General Tsaos rooster. And yes, I have talked to my neighbor. He knows he is not suppose to have a rooster in our city. He is a complete jerk about it.
Love your accent!! Where r you from.. down under??? ... love it.. must try!!!💕✨🦋💕✨🦋🌿🌿🙏🙏💫💫💫
Jeremy was born in London! - Lee
Lovely!!!!💕✨🦋🙏
Thanks for the tutorial! Making this tomorrow
Let us know how it turns out! - Lee
i screwed up my first attempt at general tsos, ill be trying this one though looks much much better than the other recipe i used (ginger pieces are too large for my taste though, will be dicing them) - thanks school of wok!
> "balace out the sweetness "
> adds sugar
ok....
Just go along with it - Lee
If you don't like sweet and spicy why would you watch a recipe for general tso's chicken lol
And how did you come about to such conclusion. I'm simply pointing out to a slight inconsistency of the guide. Looking at it again I see what Jeremy meant, but first time around looked strange. I've actually made similar sauces, but this looks like hella sweet, too much for my liking.
This is probably 50% less sugar than a typical chinese restaurant (it's like 2/3 of a can of coke worth of sugar in this whole recipe) so I would expect more people to be unsatisfied with the recipe because it's not sweet enough rather than too sweet
True.
you're toying with my emotions with that chicken! that's one of my favorites when I go for chinese!
Haha, now you know how to make it at home! - Lee
Every Chinese restaurant around me always makes this and just drowns it in off the shelf sauce. One time in Vegas I went to China town and they made g chicken that looked very similar to your. It was the best I ever had.
Loving the wok clock
Sheschwan Whatever! Please!!
Asian guy with a British Accent? that's something new.
Not if you live in Britain mate.
I wasn't trying to be rude. I've just never encountered it in the US. sorry if I offended you.
I thought the same thing
Kevin Howard he grew up in UK and has an open mind to learn the local language.
London has a large Asian population, much like New York City.
Wow my mouth was watering just seeing the end result wow looks soooo good 😊
It was so delicious! - Lee
What a great demonstration.
Thanks! - Lee
