Yeah, I like that she writes her stuff up. I like to incorporate ideas I get from different recipes of the same thing from different sources and make my own recipe with my own technique, since sometimes these come from youtube videos and websites, her detailed writeups are very helpful since I can just run off a copy on my laser printer.

Ive made 4 of her dishes and I’m purchasing her wok to support her. I was definitely Chinese in another life. I am obsessed with her videos! My son and I love Chinese food, she’s helped me make incredible dishes and showed me the right authentic sauce brands to use and buy at my local Asian market :)

I love that you put the recipe in the comments section so I can print it out. Thanks!

So, it took me a few days, but I made this today. WOW. I was concerned about a couple of the ratios because I find ingredients like ginger to be overpowering usually. I stuck to the recipe though, and I'm so glad I did. I've made many attempts at this dish before, with store-bought sauces and by following recipes with tons of ingredients and harder work involved. This is one of the simplest recipes I've seen (I didn't even have to go shopping), and nothing else has come close to how delicious this was. It's a good approximation of what you find in a Chinese restaurant, meaning if you like that version then you will not be disappointed. However, this is also much better. It's not just sweet and hot. It's also tangy and savory and smoky. The chicken is juicy, but stays crispy even quite a while after saucing. It's not over-breaded as some restaurants can be. Eaten with white rice, every texture and flavor is in a really great balance. I'm not sure it is possible to improve this recipe, except I may try potato starch rather than cornstarch next time. I prefer it for most things. Seriously though, if you like this dish, treat yourself by trying this version. It's excellent in every way.

@@bartonreid6740 Since you shouldn't be heating it much higher than 375F/190C, if you're monitoring your temperature anyway, it's actually alright to reuse it. Once it cools down you can skim out the big particles with a sifter or some tongs or something. Then pour it through a funnel and a couple of coffee filters or layers of cheese cloth and right back into the bottle. I'd label it though, because it does hold some flavor based on what you fry in it. Anyway, as long as you didn't heat it above that particular oil's smoke point and it doesn't look or smell weird, you should be good to use the oil again.

any one can fry chicken. the sauce is the key. cornstarch is the key., you can use flour but at minimum you need 1 part cornstarch to 2 part flour.

My wife and I just cooked this tonight and it was perfect! Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes!

I don't need to watch ANY other video on how to cook General Tso's Chicken from here on out. These are perfect.

literally obsessed with your videos, so many different techniques you can learn from different cultures regarding food or anyyyyything for that matter 💓

Best channel ever! Easy to follow because she is very clear and does not hurry through. I can’t wait to cook this up

Her voice is very calming Going to try this tomorrow night.

I am astounded at how good this recipe was exactly as written. The first two times I cut out this or that because I didn’t have the right ingredients but exactly as is, honestly the best General Tso’s I have ever had. You are amazing. Can’t wait to make more of your recipes (and I will be making many more). Thank you.

I have made this many times and I always turn back to this video to walk me through. Each time it comes out a teency bit different but it’s always AMAZING!! It is, by far, my family’s absolute favorite thing I make!! Thanks for the recipe!!

Excellent. I love your delivery of this recipe. Love that you include the skin and insist that the dark meat is superior (required). Thank you.

This recipe was amazing! I made one yesterday as an experiment from another website I found and I felt like I needed to make it again and find another website. Well, I found yours after many hours and I followed it and I have to say it came out amazing! It’s literally 11:57 pm and I was totally committed to making it regardless how late I got home from work tonight. This will be my lunch tomorrow. I decided to make it with thighs instead of the white meat and it’s true, it comes out better. Frying it twice made all the difference. Thank you!!!

I love your channel! I've learned so much watching you cook. Thank you!

You are so good at what you do! Every step comes out exactly as you describe. I love that and my family loved this - even our fussy eater. Thank you!

My wife and I are addicted to our local take-outs general tso's, but i must say... i made this recipe for us and it came out so amazingly! I substituted the Chinese black vinegar for rice vinegar since nowhere locally had it, but it truly was delicious. Ill be checking out more of your recipes and hope to see many more in the future.

You're too cute. I like that You speak English plainly and you get to the point. Good job.

This is fantastic. You do such a great job of explaining things step by step. Well done!

Just found this channel & very excited to start making recipes! I love that recipes & instructions are wrote out for us. Very thoughtful. I enjoy the young chefs way & very informative. Thank you!

Another delicious recipe!! Love how you explain how and why you do everything in the recipe.

I love your recipes!! Love how cute you are when you cook, how you laugh. 😁

I am sooooo glad I found your channel - I made this dish and it was wonderful and easy!! Love your comments and directions they are extremely helpful.

I love all the information you offer along with the recipe.

I love you, and your recipes! You are so precious! I plan on making so many of these. Out of all the recipes I've seen for General Tso's or Sesame Chicken yours looks best by far.

Totally awesome channel. Love her calm voice as she adds ingredients.

Thank you SOOO MUCH for pointing me to the history of the dish and the general. I was lucky enough to watch a TED talk about this subject and the subject of "Chinese food". It reminded me of finding out about my English and Irish heritage and the struggles of all immigrants.

Absolutely love watching your videos. Can't Express how much I appreciate you for sharing. Thank you so much and please don't stop. I'm learning so much.

I made this for dinner tonight except I cooked the chicken in whole pieces - my husband likes chicken breasts and I like thighs so that's what I cooked. Anyway, I cooked them in my air fryer. I did everything you instructed up until the cooking of the chicken. After I tossed the chicken in the flour and corn starch, I spritzed it with avocado oil on both sides and put it in my Ninja Foodi Air Fryer Duo. I put egg rolls in the second air fryer basket. After they were done, I coated them in the sauce in a sauce pan I had on the stove. The sauce was all nice and sticky and I just rolled the chicken around in it. Let's put it this way, my husband's plate was clean when he finished. That's saying a lot. Thanks for the recipe ! It was good. I'll be making it again !

This girl is adorable! I just love the way she talks and instructs. The only thing I will change is to cut the chicken into slightly smaller chunks. But this is a wonderful recipe! Bravo!

Love your videos. So easy to understand, with just the right amount of backstory for each dish. And! You are quite adorable. It is a pleasure to listen and watch your videos.

You're really good at teaching. Great vibe too. Make it look so easy and yummy. Thanks and great job, from one teacher to another.

@@SoupedUpRecipes Hi. Will this work if tofu used in place of chicken?

Made this for lunch today - This is the closest that I've ever gotten to making this dish correctly! It's (so) close to the take-out GTC, but that's likely because of a few substitutions. I used boneless/skinless thigh meat as that is what I had in the fridge. I agree that the skin would add a lot of flavor and additional crunch. I did have to substitute balsamic vinegar for the Black Vinegar (ordered that from you link immediately) - I think that is key. However - I'll omit the 1.5 tsp salt from the breading mixture, otherwise, this was spot-on~! The soy sauce in the chicken marinade adds all the salt needed. The crust is super crunchy, holding that crunch throughout the meal! I have been trying to get that right for decades (HUGE Thank you for that!) I also substituted chili paste as I do not have dried red chilis handy - this worked really well - I think using the paste gives you more control over the spiciness. Big "thumbs-up" on this recipe! **EDIT** It just dawned on me, regarding the saltiness...I used only 2 large thighs, about 1/3 the amount of meat - THe salt and soy were for a whole batch...mea culpa!

As usual, I do love your videos! ❤️ I'll be trying this very soon! Thank you for being you! Keep on keeping on! 😎✌️

Mandy, I've now done this recipe several times. It's easy to execute in your Wok, and taste fantastic; I'm adding this recipe to my families cookbook. For an extra indulgence, substitute the chicken for pork belly and eliminate the batter step. -I marinated some pork belly in the salt, pepper, soy sauce, and then I sous vide'd it at 168 for around 15 hours, pulled it out and cut it into pieces. I placed them in the refrigerator for a few hours to get them cold (help them firm up), and when I fried them at 375 for 2-3 minutes, they came out golden brown and crispy. All other aspects of the recipe stayed the same, the family LOVED IT!
