10 oz. fresh egg noodles
3 tablespoons cooking oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup shredded cabbage
1/4 cup shredded carrot

Heat up a wok with 1 tablespoon of the cooking oil. When the wok is heated, add the chicken into the wok and pan-fry the chicken until slightly charred and blackened on both sides. Remove the chicken from the wok and into a bowl. Set aside.

Clean the wok and heat it up with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Add in the minced garlic and stir-fry until light brown or aromatic.

General Tso’s Chicken

Serves 4 as part of a multi-course meal, 2 to 3 as a main entree

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, sliced into 1-inch cubes
• 1 1/2 cups cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 3 cups peanut or vegetable oil for frying, plus 1 tablespoon for stir-frying
• 8 dried whole red chilis, or substitute 1/4 teaspoon dried red chili flakes
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon white sesame seeds, for garnish
• Scallions, green parts thinly sliced, for garnish

Marinade:

• 1 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
• 2 egg whites

Sauce:

• 1/4 cup chicken stock, or substitute water
• 1 1/2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon hoisin sauce
• 1 teaspoon chili paste
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch

1. Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, rice wine, and egg whites. Coat the chicken to the marinade mixture and let sit for 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the chicken stock, tomato paste, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, chili paste, sesame oil, sugar, and the 1 teaspoon of cornstarch. Stir until the sugar and cornstarch are dissolved. Set the sauce aside.
3. In a large bowl or deep plate, toss the 1 1/2 cups cornstarch with the salt and pepper. Coat the marinated chicken in the cornstarch and shake off any excess before frying.
4. Heat the 3 cups of peanut or vegetable oil in your wok until it registers 350°F on an instant-read oil thermometer. Working in 2 or 3 batches, add the first batch of chicken cubes and fry until golden brown on the outside and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
5. Drain the oil into a heatproof container and save for discarding. Wipe the wok with a paper towel to remove any brown bits, but don’t wash.
6. Reheat the wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add another 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl to coat the base and sides. Add the dried chilis and garlic to the wok and stir-fry until just fragrant, about 20 seconds. Pour in the sauce mixture and stir until thickened, about 1 to 2 minutes.
7. Return the chicken to the wok and stir well to coat with sauce. Transfer the chicken to a serving dish. Garnish with white sesame seeds and scallions. Serve with white rice and vegetables.
