General Tso's Chicken Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 pound of Boneless Skinless Chicken Thigh, cut into pieces
Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon of Minced Ginger
1 tablespoon of Minced Garlic
Chinese Cooking Wine
Corn Starch
Baking Soda
1 egg white
scallions
rice vinegar
sugar
dried chili (fresh works if you only have freshy fresh)
Directions:
1. Add one egg white into a bowl and beat lightly with a fork.
2. Add 3 tablespoons of soy and Cooking Wine. Add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda. 3-4 tablespoons of Corn Starch and mix together.
3. Add chicken and let marinate while you work on the sauce.
4. In another bowl add a cup of corn starch, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and mix up. Set aside
5. In a third bowl add 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of rice wine, 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar, 3 tablespoons of sugar, a splash of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of corn starch.
6. Dip the chicken and coat it well in the dry corn starch mixture.
7. Fry up that chicken in oil at 350-375 until it is glorious and golden. Drain on paper towel.
8. In a wok or large pan add some neutral oil (like vegetable), get it hot and toss in scallions, minced ginger and garlic and 1-3 dried chili (depending on your tough guy heat factor), mix it up and let it fry on high heat for 30 seconds or until it starts to color.
9. Toss in your master sauce and mix it around until it starts to boil and thicken up.
10. Toss your chicken in the sauce and mix around to coat it. Boom you are done!
Egg Rolls
INGREDIENTS:
Egg/Spring roll wrappers
½ cup of thinly julienned carrots
½ cup thinly julienned red peppers
1 cup chopped cabbage
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
½ tsp oyster sauce
2 tsp sugar
¼ lb. ground pork
3 tbsp scallions
1 tsp ginger
1 tbsp garlic
In a wok, heat a tbsp. of canola oil and toss in scallions, ginger and garlic. Allow to cook down.
Add in your peppers, carrots and cabbage. Stir and allow it to wilt.
Push all the ingredients to one side of the wok.
Grease the open space on the wok and toss in the ground pork. Allow it to develop some color. Mix with the rest of the veggies in the wok.
Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and sugar. Stir everything together and remove.
Lay down your egg roll wrap on a flat surface and add about 2 heaping tablespoons of your pork filling.
Lightly moisten the edges of the wrap.
Fold over 2 ends of the wrap and then fold it over and roll making sure to seal the end with some more water to prevent it from opening or letting anything ooze out.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and carefully add your eggrolls. Allow it to cook until crispy and golden brown on all sides. Enjoy!
Beef & Broccoli
½ lb. beef of your choice- thinly sliced
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tsp oyster sauce
1 tbsp Chinese cooking wine
Sesame oil
Florets of 1 head of broccoli
Scallions
Ginger
Sesame seeds
In a bowl, mix soy sauce, corn starch, oyster sauce and cooking wine. Whisk until cornstarch dissolves. Set aside.
Marinate your beef w/ a couple of tbsp. of soy sauce & 1 tsp sesame oil. Allow it to marinate for 10-15 minutes.
in a wok, heat ¼ cup of water and toss in your broccoli florets and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Allow to cook until water has almost completely cooked out. Remove.
Add another splash of canola oil into your wok and toss in ¼ cup scallion, 1 tbsp garlic and 1 tsp ginger. Stir and allow it to cook down.
Mix in broccoli and beef.
Add in your cornstarch mixture that we made in the beginning. Stir everything together until well coated. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Stir and serve.

Josh, try marinating the raw meat/seafood with cornflour, cooking oil, soy sauce, white pepper and pinch of sugar before the actual cooking. It'll come out really tender and flavourful. Chinese trick :)

Cornflour for that smooth texture common in Chinese dishes, cooking oil to reduce burning while cooking, soy sauce to denature proteins increasing tenderness and flavour with pepper to season. :)

Here's the trick for the vegetables. You fry your spicy veggies first. Onions, garlic, hot peppers, pepper flakes, etc. Then, you do your meat. Finally you put the rest of your veggies in and add soy, hoisin, oyster, and what ever sauce turns you on. Add 1/2 - 3/4 cups of cold water in and cover. The steam will build up inside the cover. When the steam starts puffing out around the cover, the veggies are done. Add in you corn starch or tapioca starch slurry in until it thicken and gets to a darker colour. You are done. This makes crunchy veggies just like good old Andy Chan used to make. Andy was a Chinese chef and a friend of my father. He thought me the technique. He was a very nice man.

saintly let me guess, poor guy, you're like my 14 yr old niece in Canada. In my day NOBODY had a peanut allergy...and then they went and added peanut oil as an adjuvant to vaccines in the late 80s/90s and allergies exploded. My niece's peanut allergy is so bad, she needs to carry an Epi-pen everywhere as it takes only minute particles (peanut dust) to make her react. Thankfully peanut allergies are extremely rare here in Belgium...because few kids receive more than the one shot for polio (which is mandatory here). I'm guessing that you're vaccinated to the hilt ? Have you tested for the MTHFR gene mutation? Fascinating stuff - unfortunately for you.

A couple tips...dredge the beef or chicken with the cornstarch as it will tenderize the meat (then later serve to thicken the sauce). Serves 2 purposes that way, and cornstarch is often why Chinese meats are so tender. Also, pork loin is the most bland/tasteless food on the planet unless you marinade it first. This is why nearly all Chinese people cook lo mein etc with leftover char sui pork or leftover boneless ribs. I'd use that or at least marinade with flavors of choice before using. JMHO to kick it up a notch :D
@giuseppelogiurato5718
@giuseppelogiurato5718 8 жыл бұрын
Cornstarch does not tenderize meat, but it does thicken sauces; it's best to add it at the end in slurry form... I don't include it in my marinade (salt, brown sugar, light soy sauce and rice wine) because it makes the meat pieces clump together in the wok. Wine and soy will tenderize meat to some extent, but you may be thinking of a technique called "velveting" which involves treating the meat with alkali soda then rinsing it thoroughly. That's what makes some Chinese restaurant's meat so mysteriously mushy... (think "Beef Broccoli" or "Cashew Chicken" from a bad/cheap takeout place... I don't care for that texture myself; I like having to chew my food!) 😉

Wine and soy will tenderize meat to some extent, but you may be thinking of a technique called "velveting" which involves treating the meat with alkali soda then rinsing it thoroughly. That's what makes some Chinese restaurant's meat so mysteriously mushy... (think "Beef Broccoli" or "Cashew Chicken" from a bad/cheap takeout place... I don't care for that texture myself; I like having to chew my food!) 😉

Folks can try my tips and yours and see what they think is correct & tastes best. I stand by my post & what works in MY kitchen!! And if you truly want to break down cheap meat the way to go is salt, but I never go there myself. I have, on occasion, mixed cornstarch and some baking soda, but for my tastes the cornstarch does just enough without altering it too much. And saying that only "cheap Chinese places tenderize meat is IMHO the same as believing that some Chinese restaurants really don't use MSG lolol

PS for most thickening I prefer to use arrowroot. While it's more expensive & you need more, it's a much better way to go and to control a sauce, whereas cornstarch can be lumpy and clumpy if you don't baby it. BUT it does work when I use it directly on the meat, as I described. PS the good thing about cooking is we all can have our preferred techniques. Unlike you, I accept that other cooks use different tips. Again, just sharing what has worked well FOR ME and others may prefer to try as well!!!

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings or to imply that you're a lousy cook; I do believe in the saying, "stick with what works"... as long as your food turns out well, then there is nothing wrong with your method... however, it is simply not true that cornstarch tenderizes meat. You are 100% right about MSG; it's a natural byproduct of making soy sauce, (soy sauce naturally contains MSG), so even if they don't add extra MSG crystals, there is still some present... nothing to worry about, it's just a type of salt. 😉

Just got done with my first attempt on the General Tsao's. It came out not too bad for a first try. I'm not very experienced at frying chicken, so it might not be as crispy as it should be. But the sauce ain't bad with enough spice although the flavor could use a little work. I had to improvise with apple cider vinegar and a little red wine to make up for the rice wine with a little added sugar.

Which is not bad, but making it at home with the wife and kids will be so much more enjoyable. Please keep making and sharing your videos, you get an A+ for this one. Now I just got to go back and re-watch it. To make my list of supplies I need to go pick up at the Chinese store. Thanks again for sharing. Oh by the way I have two brothers that moved from NY to GA. That's the one thing they miss the most is NY Chinese food. So you know I already sent them this video. So I'm sure they'll be cooking up a storm as well!

You can ask the butcher in the Asian market to shred cut the pork but if you want to do so yourself, semi-freeze the meat so you can cut it thinner. They add salt to the rice wine in North American groceries so just use Sherry or table wine. They sell yeast balls in Asian grocery stores so you can make your own rice wine and some of the imported rice wines in Asian markets won't have any salt even though they may have an English label glued on saying that it does. Just don't use the rice wine or Mirin you find in the Western grocery stores, at least not without reducing the salt or soy sauce you may use. Adding a bit of MSG improves the flavour a lot and they sell mushroom powder in Asian markets if you want to avoid MSG though quite frankly mushrooms are just a natural source for glutamates, as are fish and tomatoes.
