General Tso's Sauce
I use this sauce to coat gluten free chicken nuggets that we've fried at home, plus green beans that were preboiled. Hard to say how many people this serves, maybe 2-4 people depending on how big and how many nuggets they will eat. I double the sauce recipe for 4 people and have leftovers. Could also add to baked chicken or other meat if desired.

The story behind it
I like General Tso's but don't eat it in outside restaurants because it is not gluten-free, so I make my own version at home.
Ingredients
Directions
- If using on chicken nuggets and green beans, pre-fry nuggets and pre-boil and drain green beans.
- For sauce, whisk together broth, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar.
- In separate small bowl, whisk together 1 tbsp corn starch and 2 tbsp cold water, mixing until completely smooth slurry.
- Heat sesame oil in a pan over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes, cooking for about 30 seconds.
- Add sauce mixture and bring to simmer
- Add corn starch slurry and continue to simmer, stirring constantly until thickened (about 2 mins)
- Pour over fried chicken and green beans or add them into your existing pan depending on size/shape of pan used to evenly coat them in sauce. Serve.
Notes
Finely grating fresh garlic and ginger makes a huge difference on flavor.
