Super-Easy General Tso Chicken - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
6 tablespoons hot sauce (tobasco)
1 cup white sugar
2 chicken bouillon cubes or 1 tablespoon chicken base
2 teaspoons ginger
2 tablespoons cornstarch, in 4 tbs water to thicken
1 (16 ounce) package of frozen Chinese vegetables, cooked to package directions
4 cups cooked white rice
Preparation
-
Mix the soy sauce, water, hot sauce, sugar, boullion, and ginger in a saucepan and heat until boiling. Cut the heat down and simmer while you prepare the chicken.
Take your chicken and cut into bite-size cubes. Now, at this point you can either use a boxed batter mix to add a coating on it (and deep-fry according to the box mix), or you can just stir-fry your plain chicken in a little oil until thoroughly cooked.
Going back to your sauce, use the cornstarch in water to thicken it. Then add your cooked chicken. If you battered your chicken, it's ready to eat (don't leave the battered chicken too long before eating or it will get soggy). If you stir-fried plain chicken, use this time to simmer it awhile and prepare your veggies and rice.
Serve this chicken over the veggies and rice.
