C7 - General Tso's Chicken
Sauce
1/4 cup cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup sriracha
Tbsp diced garlic
Hot peppers
Chicken
Diced chicken tossed in corn starch
Fry in pan until crispy then
Add green bell pepper piece & diced onion
Add sauce and stir for about 2 minutes allowing the sauce to thicken
Review
Since the goal was to achieve an American Chinese fast food style, simple easy to grab ingredients is whats on the menu. The chicken tossed in corn starch allows for it to hold a nice crisp while the sauce adheres to the pieces. The sauce is spicy and sweet, the bell pepper adds a nice flavor to the whole dish and the added chiles give it the extra kick needed. (was very tempted to try something hotter but didn't feel like pushing it).
