Zubereitung von General Tso's Spicy Chicken
- Prepare rice according to package directions. Blanch broccoli florets by boiling for 1-2 minutes, then immediately transfer to an ice bath. Drain well and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Stir in 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tablespoon minced ginger, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1-2 teaspoons red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference). Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine 3 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Add 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (cut into 1-inch pieces) to the cornstarch mixture and toss until evenly coated.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Cook chicken in batches for 4-6 minutes per batch, or until golden brown and almost cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- Add the blanched broccoli to the skillet and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet. Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and broccoli.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through (about 2-3 minutes).
- Serve immediately over prepared rice. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped scallions for an extra burst of freshness.
