Easy General Tao Chicken

Fried chicken that's crispy, sweet and a little bit spicy... what's not to love?

Ingredients:

1 egg

1 tsp low sodium soya sauce

1 cup General Tao prepared sauce

2 tbsps cornstarch

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken strips

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 small red onion, sliced

2 cups snowpeas

1/2 cup diced red pepper

1 small carrot, sliced thinly on the diagonal

1/3 cup water

sesame seeds to garnish

In a large bowl whisk the egg, soya sauce and 2 tbsps of General Tao sauce together. Then whisk in the cornstarch and add the chicken strips. Stir to coat. I like this V-H General Tao but use any you like. Or make your own but that takes the "easy" out of Easy General Tao Chicken 😉 

Heat vegetable oil in a wok to 350°F and start cooking the chicken in batches for about 2 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove to a paper towel lined plate and continue until all the chicken is cooked.

Remove all but 2 tbsps of oil from the wok then add the onion and cook 2 minutes. Add the snowpeas, red pepper and carrots with 1/3 cup of water, cover and steam for 3 minutes.

Pour in the General Tao sauce and add the chicken, stir to coat everything and simmer and few minutes until heated through.

Add sesame seeds and serve.
