/ck/, I am looking for your best General Tso's Sauce recipe.

Here's mine. More of an "orange chicken" sauce but it's really good.
>2 Tbs sugar
>1 Tbs soy sauce
>1 Tbs sambal chili paste
>3 Tbs vinegar
>2 Tbs Chinese cooking wine
>1 Tsp corn starch
>Juice from 1 orange

1/2cup chicken stock
1tbsp sugar
3tbsp soy
2tbsp rice vinegar
1tbsp dry sherry
1tbsp hoisin sauce
2tsp black vinegar
1tsp sesame oil

fry some garlic and 4 dried chilli peppers for a bit before pouring in the sauce

also, ~1tbsp cornstarch and water for the slurry

worked in a Chinese restaurant for a while when younger.

You would be shocked how much sugar is in some dishes.

Mongolian beef
general Tso's
sweet & sour
orange chicken
lemon chicken

all of these had literally a half cup of sugar per entree.

The KUNG pao recipe I use doesn't use much sugar, and it's way better than any take out you will ever get from anywhere ever period. Use chicken breasts or chicken breast cutlets.

This is more or less how you do it but you reduce the sugar amount by 50% and use brown sugar, also use birds eye chilies.

http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2014/07/takeout-style-kung-pao-chicken-diced-chicken-peppers-peanuts-recipe.html

so you're looking at like 1/2 TBSP of brown sugar which isn't much for an entire dish that will have leftovers.

forgot to mention that you never use green peppers, always red, skip the green peppers, they add a shit flavor to kung pao.

>He eats out enough that it can significantly impact his weight regardless of how sugar laden the portions were

sad

why would you eat general Tso's when you can have the far superior kung pao? Tso's is absolute garbage rat feed.

You forgot the sambal, but otherwise good recipe.

>>8160786
Yeah. Just put Siracha in it.

>>8158017
There decent recipes all over the Web and most are pretty similar. A few tips to help you get the best results:

Boneless skinless thighs. Not breast meat.

Light AND dark soy sauce

A little sesame oil

Xiaoshing wine

MSG

Way more scallions than you think you need (cook the white part, garnish with the green)

If the proper chiles are unavailable chiles de arbol or chiles de japones work fine.

A fuckton of fresh minced garlic and ginger

Palm sugar. It has a vastly more complex flavor than cane sugar.
