General Tso Chicken 

Ingredients 

• 6 pieces of boneless chicken thigh (cut into bite-sized pieces) 
• ⅓ cup of Rice Flour 
• ¼ cup of Corn Starch 
• 2 tbsp of Soy Sauce 
• 1 tbsp of Minced Garlic 
• Salt and Pepper to season 
• ⅓ cup of Soda Water 
• 1 Egg

General Tso Sauce

• 2.5 tbsp of Soy Sauce 
• 1.5 tbsp of Hoisin Sauce 
• 3-4 tbsp of Honey 
• 1.5 tbsp of Minced Garlic 
• 1 tbsp of Freshly Grated Ginger 
• 1.5 tbsp of Rice Vinegar 
• 1 tsp of Crushed Red Pepper (more if you like it spicy) 
• 2 tbsp of Corn Starch 
• 3 tbsp of Cold Water 

Instructions

1. Marinate the chicken with soy sauce, minced garlic, salt, pepper, corn starch, rice flour, soda water, and egg. 
2. Massage everything together; you want a thick but slightly runny consistency; add more rice flour or soda water if needed. Rest for 20 minutes.
3. Mix 2.5 tbsp of soy sauce, 1.5 tbsp of Hoisin Sauce, 3-4 tbsp of Honey, 1.5 tbsp of minced garlic, 1 tbsp of freshly grated ginger, 1.5 tbsp of rice vinegar, 1 tsp of crushed red pepper. 
4. Add in oil (enough to cover the chicken) in a pan, and turn the heat to medium-high. Once the oil is hot, add in the chicken and deep fry for 6-7 minutes or until golden brown. 
5. Optional: remove the chicken, set aside. Turn the heat up to high, add back in the chicken, and deep fry for 1-2 minutes.
6. Add the sauce mixture to a separate pan, and let it simmer on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. 
7. Combine 2 tbsp of corn starch with 3 tbsp of cold water. Pour in the corn starch mixture into the pan, grate in fresh orange zest, and simmer for another 30 seconds. 
8. Add in the crispy chicken, sesame seeds, and toss on high heat for 1 minute.
