Stir Fry the Chicken. Heat the vegetable oil in a large wok or pan to medium-high heat or high heat and swirl to coat. Cook the chicken 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until the each side of the chicken forms a crispy golden brown crust. Don’t let it stick to the bottom of the pan. General Tso’s Chicken is a a dish of crispy deep-fried chicken tossed in a sweet and spicy Chinese sauce. It is popularly served in Chinese American restaurants and named for a Qing Dynasty military leader. It is rather famous for takeout Chinese food, though it’s so much better when you make it at home, as you can really control the ingredients and, more importantly, the spice factor. Let’s talk about how to make General Tso’s Chicken, shall we? Time to Simmer. Add the reserved sauce and reserved chicken to the wok and bring to a simmer. Toss to combine. Cook another 2 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Cook the Vegetables. Reduce the heat to medium and add the hot peppers, garlic, ginger and scallions. Stir fry for 30 seconds.
