- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 180 ml (3/4 cup) chicken stock
- 600g (1.4 pounds) boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon red chilli flakes
- Finely sliced green onion, to serve

## Method: How to Cook General Tso's Chicken

### Creating the Flavor Explosion

In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, vinegar, chilli paste, sesame oil, brown sugar, ginger, and garlic. This blend will create a flavor explosion that makes General Tso's Chicken so irresistible!

### Marinate the Chicken

Coat the chicken pieces with about 2 tbsp of the sauce mixture, making sure to evenly distribute it. Save the remaining sauce for later.

### Preparing the Sauce

In a hot pan, combine the reserved sauce with the chicken stock. Bring it to a boil and let it simmer until it thickens into a syrupy consistency. Set aside for now.

### Add the Egg

Add the egg to the marinated chicken and mix well.

### Coat the Chicken

Coat each chicken piece with cornflour, shaking off any excess.

### Time to Fry

Fry the coated chicken pieces until they turn golden brown, then strain off the excess oil.

### Stir-Fry the Aromatics

Remove excess oil from the pan, leaving about 2 tablespoons. Stir-fry the ginger, garlic, and chili flakes in the oil.

### Combine Chicken and Sauce

Add the prepared syrupy sauce to the pan with the aromatics. Once the sauce becomes sticky, toss in the fried chicken pieces, making sure each piece is coated in the delicious sauce.

### Serve and Enjoy

Serve your General Tso's Chicken with a sprinkle of green onions and sesame seeds. Voilà! Your mouthwatering dish is ready to be devoured.

## Tips and Tricks

- Marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
- For a healthier option, try baking the chicken instead of frying.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce salt content.
- Cut the chicken pieces into evenly-sized, bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook at roughly the same time.
- When frying, don't overcrowd the chicken pieces. They will be more crunchy this way.
- Use as much ginger and garlic as you please!
- Try not to overcook the chicken pieces so that they don't become too chewy or hard.

## Ingredient Substitutes

- In case hoisin sauce is unavailable, you can use oyster sauce or plum sauce as an alternative.
- You can substitute rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar for regular vinegar.
- If you don't have chilli paste, use sriracha or another hot sauce as a substitute.

## Do I Need to Use Shaoxing Wine for this Recipe?

We have omitted the Shaoxing Wine from the recipe as it might not be readily available to everyone.

If you have Shaoxing Wine, you can reduce the chicken stock by around 2 tbsp and substitute 2 tbsp of Shaoxing wine instead.

## How to Make Sure the Chicken Come Out Crispy?

1. Ensure your deep frying oil is at least 180 C or 350 F.
2. When frying, do not put too much chicken pieces at the same time. Leave some room between each chicken pieces so that the oil temperature will not drop as much.
3. After frying, drain the chicken pieces of the excess oil and give them enough room to breath. Ensure that they are in a well-ventilated container that will not generate any condensation. The excess moisture will make them soggy.
4. If storing the fried chicken pieces for later, avoid mixing the sauce with the chicken pieces, otherwise the batter will get soggy once stored.

## Is Sweet and Sour Chicken a Healthy Choice?

When considering the healthiness of Sweet and Sour Chicken, it's important to take into account the ingredients, cooking methods, and portion sizes. While this dish is rich in protein from the chicken, it also contains a significant amount of carbohydrates and fat due to the cornflour coating and frying method. Additionally, the sweet and tangy sauce contains added sugar.

However, there are ways to make this dish healthier without sacrificing taste:

- Opt for baking or air-frying the chicken instead of deep-frying to reduce the amount of fat.
- Use whole wheat flour or almond flour instead of cornflour to add more fiber and nutrients to the dish.
- Reduce the amount of sugar in the sauce or consider using a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
- Incorporate more vegetables into the dish, such as adding snap peas, carrots, or baby corn, to increase the nutrient content.
- Serve the dish with a side of steamed vegetables or a salad to balance out the meal.

In moderation, and with a few healthy tweaks, Sweet and Sour Chicken can be a delicious and satisfying option. Just remember to watch portion sizes and enjoy it as part of a balanced diet.

- 1-2 tsp cracked black pepper
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 1-2 tsp lemon or calamansi juice

## The Perfect Spice Mix

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can I use a different type of pasta?

Yes! Feel free to use spaghetti, macaroni, or any other pasta shape that you prefer. The sauce will still coat the pasta beautifully, creating a delicious meal.

### Is the white wine necessary? What can I use as a substitute?

While white wine adds acidity and sweetness to the dish, you can substitute it with chicken broth or a non-alcoholic white wine if you prefer. Keep in mind that the alcohol in the wine evaporates during cooking, leaving behind only the flavorful elements.

### Can I make this dish vegetarian?

Definitely! To create a vegetarian version, simply omit the chicken and add more mushrooms or even other vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, or spinach. You can also try adding plant-based protein like tofu or tempeh.

### How should I store leftovers?

Store any leftover Chicken Alfredo Pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave the pasta or gently warm it on the stovetop, adding a little extra cream or milk if needed to maintain the sauce's creamy consistency.

### Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the sauce ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat the sauce, cook the pasta, and then mix the two together. Top with cheese and parsley just before serving.
