sailorzeoMy latest experiment, born from my almost-daily cravings for General Tsao's Chicken:
General Who's Chicken?
Sauce:
1/3 c brown sugar
1/4 c olive oil
1/4 c honey
1/4 c red wine vinegar
1/4 c soy sauce
2 Tbsp oyster sauce
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp ginger
red pepper flakes (to taste)
chili powder (to taste)
1 tsp cornstarch
Mix sauce. Cut up 2 chicken breasts, deep fry. Heat small amount of sauce in wok til bubbly, add chicken. Toss until sauce glazes. Repeat until all chicken is coated. Serve with rice and broccoli.
----
Okay, so this sauce is SO not insulin-resistant friendly. Lots of sugar. But, I skipped breading the chicken, and I'm using brown rice instead of white, and having a good dollop of broccoli mixed in, too. So, hopefully it'll work out to "not OVERLY bad" instead of "Oh my dear lord!" Matt tasted it, said, "It doesn't really taste like General Tsao's, but DAMN, it's good!" :-D
