VEGAN GENERAL TSO'S CHICK'N



Vegan General Tso's Chick'n image

I adapted ChefDaddy's chicken recipe to make it vegan using store-bought plant-based nuggets. Make it kid-friendly by omitting the chiles and serving crushed red pepper on the side.

Categories     Vegetarian Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 (10 ounce) packages frozen meatless chicken nuggets (such as MorningStar Farms®)
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 stalks green onions, chopped, white and green parts separated
6 whole dried red chiles
1 clove garlic, minced
1 orange zest
½ cup white sugar
¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons low-sodium vegetable broth
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon water
2 teaspoons cornstarch
3 cups hot cooked brown rice
3 cups steamed broccoli
2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place frozen nuggets on a baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Flip nuggets and continue to bake until heated through and crispy, 7 to 9 more minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm.
  • While the nuggets are cooking, heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir in white parts of green onions, red chiles, garlic, and orange zest. Cook, stirring, until chiles and garlic are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add sugar, soy sauce, broth, vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger to the wok. Bring to a boil and cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  • Whisk together water and cornstarch in a small bowl; stir into the sauce. Return to a boil and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove and discard orange zest.
  • Stir nuggets into sauce to coat. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring frequently, until nuggets are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve nugget mixture over rice with broccoli. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green parts of green onions.

  • I like to saute the vegetables first and then add them back in at the end, that way they have a nice texture to them and don’t get too mushy with everything else--but feel free to cook the vegetables as you please.
  • In a large nonstick pot over medium high heat, add the sliced garlic if using, cook 1-3 minutes until fragrant and translucent, adding water or broth as needed (of course you may cook with oil if you prefer). Then add your veggies. For me, I sauteed the broccolini for about 5 minutes but NOT the red bell pepper because I prefer my red bell peppers crunchy, not soft. I put a lid on for part of those 5 minutes to give the broccolini a little steaming action. Cook according to your preferences. Either way, take your cooked veggies out of the pot and place them in a bowl and cover either with a small plate or aluminum foil.
  • While your veggies are cooking, rehydrate the soy curls by placing them in a medium bowl and adding vegetable broth or water just so the top soy curls are floating just a little, for me, about 1 ¾ cups broth for 8 oz soy curls. It should absorb all the water in about 6-8 minutes, but if it doesn’t, drain off the water well before cooking them.
  • Saute the minced or grated ginger and garlic next over medium high heat for about 1-2 minutes or until fragrant in your large nonstick pot. Remember to add just a little water or broth to keep them from sticking.
