General Tso's Chicken

Directions

In a glass bowl, place chicken pieces.

Combine 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1tablespoon cornstarch.

Blend in beaten egg white.

Pour over chicken and toss to coat well.

Marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour.

In a small bowl, combine remaining soy sauce, vinegar, white wine, and 1 teaspoon cornstarch; mix until smooth.

Stir in sugar, sesame oil and salt.

In a wok heat oil.

Deep-fry chicken, a few pieces at a time, about 1 minute, or until golden brown.

Remove and drain on paper towel.

Pour all but 2 tablespoons oil out of wok.

To the wok, add chili peppers, garlic and ginger; stir-fry 1 minute.

Pour sauce mixture into wok and cook, stirring, about 1 minute, until thickened.

Return chicken pieces to wok.

Mix well and serve immediately.

I like to serve this with rice and Sauteed Snow Peas and Red Peppers.

The chicken is spicy hot with the dried chili peppers, so adjust to your taste.
