Instructions for Making Easy General Tso’s Chicken

  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, chicken broth, ½ cup sugar, ginger paste, and rice wine vinegar until well combined.
  6. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, then add dried chilis, green onion, orange peel, and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  7. Pour the sauce mixture into the skillet and stir to integrate the ingredients.
  8. Stir in the dissolved cornstarch and continue to mix until the sauce thickens.
  9. Finally, add the cooked chicken back into the skillet and toss until well coated.
