General Tso’s Chicken
My daughter Zoe came home for the holidays from the east coast and she said General Tso’s chicken is one of the most popular dishes in any Chinese restaurant. I always loved going to Hunan restaurants when I lived in New York. There don’t seem to be many on the West Coast. Anyway, I decided to try to make her some. Note to self – it’s easier to order it from a restaurant, but it does work.
