For the chicken marinade, start by beating the egg white until foamy, then add the soy sauce, wine, and vodka and whisk together. set aside half the marinade into a cup, which we’ll pour into the dry mix for extra clumps. Take your remaining marinade and add the baking soda and cornstarch until the mixture thickens Then add your chicken pieces and mix by hand until fully coated. Let sit for at least 60 minutes, and up to overnight for the best flavor. 2. Combine your dry ingredients and whisk together. Add the extra marinade you set aside, and mix again until clumps form. Then add your chicken a few pieces and toss until they are fully coated. Begin heating your oil for frying 3. For the General Tso sauce, mince your garlic, green onion, and ginger and set aside. Mix the rest of the ingredients other than the chiles in a bowl. 4. Fill the wok halfway with a neutral vegetable oil and bring to 350F. Then add about 1/3 of your chicken in. We are going to cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the wok. Try maintaining the temperature between 325-350 while cooking for the best coating. Cook for 4 minutes or until they are very crispy. Remove the chicken and place it on a paper towel-lined tray 5. Now take a large fry pan over medium heat and add some peanut/neutral oil until shimmering. Add the minced garlic, green onion, and ginger and cook for about 30 seconds. Then add your chiles to the pan, and cook for 2 minutes until they brighten and become fragrant. Now add your General Tso's sauce and bring to a light simmer. The cornstarch is really going to help thicken the sauce. Once finished, turn off the heat. 6. Add your chicken to the warm sauce and stir with a rubber spatula until fully coated. Then add in your green onion segments and ensure these are coated as well 7. Plate over some white rice and garnish some some sliced chives/green onion, and you are finished! If you have any questions or video ideas, please send them to me at [email protected]
