General Tso's Chicken With Steamed Snow Peas Recipe

ingredients

1/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup water or chicken stock, mixed with
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
2 eggs, beaten
4 whole boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup oil (I use less in nonstick skillet)
5 dried hot red chilies
1/2 pound snow peas, steamed 1 minute

directions

Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, water or chicken and cornstarch mixture, dry sherry, sesame oil, garlic and ginger; set aside. Combine egg and cornstarch mixture well. Add chicken and toss to coat. Heat oil until hot; fry chicken in batches until crisp and brown (do not crowd pan). Drain on paper towels.

Pour off all but 2 teaspoons oil from pan. Add chilies and toss for a few seconds. Return chicken to pan with soy sauce mixture and cook until glazed (1 to 2 minutes). Add pea pods; cook 1 more minute. Serve immediately. If reheating, cut down on cooking time.
