General Tsos Chicken
This General Tso's chicken features crispy, deep-fried chicken pieces coated in a glossy, sweet-and-spicy sauce. The chicken is marinated in egg whites and cornstarch for a light, crunchy texture once fried. The sauce, a blend of soy, vinegar, ginger, garlic, and a touch of heat, is simmered with broccoli until thickened, then the fried chicken is tossed in right at the end. It comes together quickly once the chicken is fried.
