How to Make General Tso's Chicken Ii
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, water/cornstarch mixture, dry sherry, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and cornstarch until smooth.
- Add the chicken to the egg mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot (a drop of chicken should sizzle immediately), fry chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy (about 3-4 minutes per batch).
- Remove chicken from skillet and drain on paper towels.
- Pour off all but 2 teaspoons of oil from the skillet.
- Add the sliced chilies and stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Pour the soy sauce mixture over the chicken and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and glazes the chicken (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add the sugar snap peas and cook for 1 minute until tender-crisp.
- Serve immediately over rice. If reheating, reduce cooking time and add a splash of water or broth to prevent drying out.
- Serves 6-8
