  • General Tso's Chicken is a Chinese - American recipe invented several years ago. Actually, it was invented in America and has no Mainland China history. It is, nevertheless, incredibly delicious. There are several variations of it, but this is our version. Get the recipe: cooknshare.com...
    There are a few tips and alterations to the recipe. First, we use boneless, skinless chicken breasts, as they are so healthy and easy to work with. Any cut of chicken can be used, however. You will just have to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
    We use a heavy, dark soy sauce in the recipe because of the malt flavor of it. If you don't have it on hand, you can use regular soy sauce.
    Next, the recipe uses Hoisen sauce which can be picked up in any grocery store anywhere in the world. If you don't have it you can simply leave it out.
    Rice wine vinegar can be substituted for cooking wine.
    The amounts of the rest of the ingredients, such as the garlic and ginger, can be adjusted according to your liking. It never hurts to add a little more of each.
    Watch the video, give our General Tso's Chicken a try, and let us know what you think.

    I've made at least 3 different General Tso recipes that I've watched on UA-cam; all of them just tasted like teriyaki chicken. this recipe looks like more of the same. maybe my isolated pocket of America just makes General Tso's chicken different?

    It's pronounced "Chow".

    • @TheCooknShare
      @TheCooknShare  7 років тому

      It's generally pronounced "so." I have heard it pronounced "Chow," but if you Google it, the most common is "so."

    • @annt.7785
      @annt.7785 7 років тому

      This is what asian people have told me when I go into order it. They get mad and say it's pronounced chow.

    • @TheCooknShare
      @TheCooknShare  7 років тому +2

      Hi Ann. That's interesting. Most of the Chinese pronounce it "So." Having said that, I've been in other parts of Asia, such as Korea, the Philippines, etc. and they want to pronounce it Chow. Not arguing with you, Ann. LOL. I just spent a lot of time researching so I wouldn't say it wrong. Perhaps that's what some folks call it General's Chicken. It really doesn't matter, It's just yummy! Thanks for the comment though.
