GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN

Steps:

• Sauce-Marinade: Mix the soy, hoisin, vinegar, chilli and sesame oil.
• Marinate Chicken: Take out 2 tablespoons of Sauce-Marinade and mix with chicken. Add ginger and garlic to chicken, mix, then marinate 30 minutes.
• Dust chicken: Add cornflour into chicken and toss to coat, ensuring pieces are separated so they get fully coated.
• Shake off excess: Tip into a colander and shake to remove excess cornflour (or grab handfuls, shake so cornflour falls through your fingers).
• Finish Sauce: To the remaining Sauce-Marinade (that you made in Step 1), add sugar and cornflour. Mix, then add chicken stock and mix.
• Heat oil: Heat 2 cm / 4/5" oil in a deep skillet (or large pot - whatever you're comfortable with) to 200°C/390°F. To use less, see Note 4.
• Fry: Cook chicken 3 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towel lined plate.
• New / clean skillet: Discard oil, wipe skillet and return to heat. Or use another large skillet.
• Stir Fry Sauce: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, chilli flakes, saute 30 seconds until garlic is light golden. Add Sauce, bring to simmer and stir occasionally until it thickens enough that you can draw a path across pan base.
• Toss! Add chicken, toss to coat quickly - the quicker you are, the crispier the chicken stays! Transfer to serving plate, garnish and serve immediately with your rice of choice.

GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut chicken into small bite-size pieces. They should measure about 2 ½ cups (625 mL). Set aside.
• For sauce, heat broth in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add ginger (It must be very finely chopped), sherry, vinegar, soy sauce and hot garlic chili sauce. Boil gently for 10 minutes to develop flavor, then reduce heat to low and add tomato paste. Stir 2 Tbsp (30 mL) cornstarch with the same amount of water. Add to the sauce and stir fairly constantly until thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• For chicken coating, in a medium size bowl, whisk ½ cup (125 mL) cornstarch with soya, sesame oil and egg whites. Cover the bottom of a wide deep frying pan or flat bottomed wok with about ½ inch (1 cm) canola oil. Place over medium heat. Add about a quarter of the chicken pieces to the cornstarch coating. When oil is hot enough to quickly brown a little cube of bread (375°F/190°C), remove a few chicken pieces from the cornstarch coating, draining off excess coating and place in the hot oil. Repeat until all pieces in the coating are added to the oil. Fry, turning chicken pieces often, until beautifully browned, 3 to 4 min. As soon as pieces are browned, remove to a paper towel lined plate. Repeat process with remaining chicken.
• Return sauce to medium heat and stir gently until hot. Then add all the coated chicken and stir gently and constantly until chicken is hot, about 2 min. If sauce seems too thick, add water to sauce, a tablespoon (15 mL) at a time, until the right consistency for evenly coating chicken. Serve on rice and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.

Steps:

• Heat 4 cups of peanut oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl; whisk in 1 teaspoon of sesame oil and the cornstarch. Mix in the chicken until all the pieces are coated with batter. Drop into the hot oil a piece at a time; cook until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and no longer pink on the inside, about 4 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
• Stir together the vinegar, wine, sugar, soy sauce, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and the banana ketchup in a small bowl until smooth; set aside. Heat 2 tablespoons peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir in the dried chile peppers and cook for a few seconds until the peppers brighten. Stir in the onion, garlic, and orange zest. Cook and stir until the onion is beginning to brown. Stir in the sauce; bring to a boil before adding the fried chicken. Reduce the heat to medium and stir until the chicken pieces are well coated with the sauce, a few minutes longer. Serve sprinkled with green onions and toasted sesame seeds.

Steps:

• For the chicken: Place your broccoli florets in a medium bowl and add 2 tablespoons water. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes, until tender. Drain and set aside until ready to use.
• Heat the oil in a 4-quart (3.8-liter) Dutch oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) using a frying thermometer. Rinse the chicken in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Mix 1 1/2 cups (335 grams) of the tempura flour and 1 cup (240 milliliters) water into a thick batter. It should look like thick pancake batter. Dredge the chicken cubes in the 1 cup (223 grams) of tempura flour and then coat them in the batter. Fry them in two batches until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain the chicken on paper towels or a rack.
• Heat a wok or large skillet to high and add 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of oil. When you see the first wisps of white smoke, stir in the fried chicken, onion, chiles, broccoli, and 1/3 of the ginger and garlic and cook them for about 30 seconds.
• For the sauce: While the chicken cooks, add the oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, sugar, white vinegar, soy sauce, cornstarch slurry, red food coloring if using, 1/3 cup water and the remaining chopped ginger and garlic into a 1-quart (946-millileter) saucepan and bring the heat up to medium. Whisk gently as it comes to a simmer. Allow it to simmer and keep whisking it for about 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat and reserve it.
• Stir in the sauce and allow it to coat the chicken and simmer. Cook it, folding all the ingredients until they are well coated, about 2 minutes. Garnish with the scallions.
