General Tso's Chicken

Ingredients:

1 lb chicken thighs, boned and cubed
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup cornstarch, plus
2 teaspoons cornstarch
5 dried chili pods
1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons rice wine
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce

First I cut up the chicken

Step 1:

Next I mixed the cornstarch and eggs.

Step 2:

I then coated the chicken with the cornstarch mixture.

Step 3:

Next I fried the chicken.

Step 4:

Let the fried chicken pieces drain on some paper towls.

Step 5:

I then made the sauce using cornstarch, soy sauce, rice vinegar, rice wine, sugar and chili paste (even though its not in the recipe, i wanted more heat).

Step 6:

Next added some chili pods to my wok with some oil and cooked them on low heat to release their aroma.

Step 7:

Once I had a decent aroma, I turned the heat onto high and added the fried chicken pices and allowed them to reheat and crisp up. Becareful not to burn the chili pods, if they start to remove them.

Step 8:

Once crisp I added the sauce and cooked and tossed until it was thick and bubbly.

Step 9:

Tada! Time to eat, I also added some sesame seeds because I like them.
