This healthier lightened up version is wok sautéed instead of deep fried, and made without all the added sugar used in most restaurants.

It's sweet, savory, sour and every bit as addictive as the restaurant version.
Steps to make General Tso's Chicken:
- Prepare all ingredients. Cut the chicken itu bite size, and then in a mixing bowl mix with cornstarch and white pepper. Marinade for minimum 30 minutes (I did it overnight).
- Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Mix altogether in a bowl. Then add a beaten egg and all purpose flour to the marinated chicken.
- Heat the pan, put some cooking oil, and fry the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked.
- Heat some oil again, now sauteé the dried chillies and onion. Next, put the sauce in, and mixed with the leftover batter (egg and flour) until it's thickened. Last, put the chicken in and let the sauce cover all the chicken's surface.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and spring onion. Serve with hot white rice.
The chicken is crispy without being overly breaded (my usual complaint when it comes to General Tso's), while the sauce is thick and syrupy, just like it should be. General Tso's Chicken is a Chinese-American dish of fried chicken pieces that are breaded and tossed in a tangy sauce. This dish is very similar in style to sesame or orange chicken. But, like in much of Chinese food, it's the sauce that makes each dish unique. Slow Cooker General Tso's Chicken is a super easy meal with an amazing sweet and savory sauce with a little bit of heat!
