Authentic really good general gao's recipe please!!!!?

Hello,





I have a general gao's recipe that I actually got from YA. Its pretty good %26amp; the hubby loves it. We've been sticking to that recipe but I feel like its missing something, it could be a little sweeter %26amp; spicer. Does anyone have a REALLY awesome tried %26amp; true recipe they want to share with me. Authentic chineese ones would be best but I'm despreate to make me some homemade general gao's as good as the chineese resturant!





Thanks :)|||Here's a great recipe for General Tsao's chicken, if that's what you mean.





General Tso's Chicken





3/4 lb Boneless chicken breast


2 ts Dark soy sauce


2 ts Rice wine or dry sherry


1 ts Finely chopped ginger root


1 ts Cornstarch


1 ts Sesame oil


1/3 c Oil, preferably peanut


2 Dried red chiles


- cut in half lengthwise


1 tb Chopped fresh orange peel OR


2 ts - dried citrus peel


-(soaked %26amp; coarsely chopped)


1/2 ts Roasted Sichuan peppercorns


* (finely ground), optional


2 ts Dark soy sauce


1/4 ts Salt


1 ts Sugar


1/2 ts Sesame oil





CUT CHICKEN INTO THIN SLICES 2 inches long, cutting against the grain. Put


it into a bowl together with the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, ginger,


cornstarch and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well, and then let the mixture


marinate for about 20 minutes. Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet until


it is very hot. Remove the chicken from the marinade with a slotted spoon.


Add it to the pan and stir-fry it for 2 minutes until it browns. Remove it


and leave to drain in a colander or sieve. Pour off most of the oil,


leaving about 2 teaspoons. Reheat the pan over a high heat and then add the


dried chiles. Stir-fry them for 10 seconds, and then return the chicken to


the pan. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir-fry for 4 minutes, mixing


well. Serve the dish at once.





Add toasted sesme seeds to make sesame chicken.|||you have to understand - the chinese food we have come to know and love is not authentic chinese food. it's americanized. it's known as General Gao's in New England mostly.


use dark meat; batter it then fry it.


it is seasoned with ginger, soy sauce, garlic, rice vinegar, shaoxing wine (sherry), sesame oil, sugar, scallions, tomato paste and hot chili peppers|||mmm sounds yummy!! Why don't you try adding some chilly pepper or hot sauce to it for a little better of a kick!
