chicken

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: chicken thighs

Tofu is lower in calories and suitable for vegetarians; chicken thighs are often cheaper than breasts.

Cut the boneless thigh into 1 inch pieces.

Prepare General Tso’s Sauce by mixing dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, white sugar, hoisin sauce, water, and corn starch until there are no lumps.

Marinate the chicken pieces with salt, pepper powder, and 2 tbsp of the prepared General Tso’s Sauce. Mix and set aside for 30 mins.

Add whisked egg white to the marinated chicken and mix well.

In another container, mix all purpose flour, corn starch, baking soda, and salt.

Coat the marinated chicken pieces in the dry batter mix in batches.

Heat oil in a pan for deep frying on medium heat and fry the chicken pieces until light golden in color, about 4-5 mins.

In a wok, heat oil and sauté garlic, ginger, and red chilli flakes for around 1 min.

Add the General Tso’s Sauce and cook for a minute or two until it thickens.

Add the fried chicken pieces and mix until coated in the sauce, cooking for around 2 mins.

Garnish with white sesame seeds and serve hot.
