on Oct 05, 2015, Updated Sep 04, 2023 14 Comments One of my absolutely favorite take-out dishes is General Tso’s Chicken. There’s just something about that spicy kick from the sauce with the chicken that I crave from time to time. But generally, whenever I order take-out, I don’t feel my best afterwards. I’m not sure if it is the amount of sodium in the dish or preservatives, but as much as I love it while I’m eating it, I regret it soon afterward. So, I decided to make it myself at home a few years back instead. I knew the major flavor profile and could figure out the ingredients and set about figuring out how to make a dish I love without dreading the headache and swollen feeling that followed. My other goal? Make it healthier so that I could feel good about feeding it to my family, too! I decided to skip the step of frying the chicken in cornstarch and oil and just saute the chicken instead. I don’t miss the fried and it saves a whole lot of time in making my homemade General Tso’s Chicken. Speaking of time? I can have my version on the table faster than we can order in from our local Chinese delivery. Now, how cool is that? Here’s how I make my homemade General Tso’s Chicken Recipe. I hope you love it, too! Enjoy!Robyn xo
