General Tso’s chicken

General Tso’s chicken

this is  a dish that’s not so well known in Belgium, at least I have never seen it on a menu card. It is a sweet sauce with a very light spicy touch. We think this is a very delicious dish. It’s also very easy to make.

What do you need?

• 300 gr (10 oz) chicken fillet, cut into strips
• 60 gr (2 oz) corn starch
• 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds
• 2 spring onions, cut

Sauce

• 35 ml (1 oz) soy sauce, low sodium
• 1 tablespoon of honey
• 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
• 1 clove of garlic, crushed
• ½ teaspoon of ginger powder
• 1.5 tablespoons of rice vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon of chili flakes
• ½ teaspoon of tomato puree
• 1 tablespoon of hoisin sauce

How to make it?

Pass the chicken breast strips through the corn starch. Bake them in a large frying pan.

In the meantime, you can prepare the sauce. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir well.

When the chicken is fully cooked, add the sauce and fry for 1 minute.

Finish with sesame seeds and spring onions.

Bon Appetit!
