General Tso's Chicken

Instructions

1. 1

   Start the rice. Steam or microwave the broccoli until crisp-tender.

2. 2

   Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces, dip in beaten egg, then toss in cornstarch to coat.

3. 3

   Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry the chicken in batches, 5-6 minutes per batch, until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Wipe out most of the oil. Sauté the garlic and ginger 30 seconds, then add soy sauce, hoisin, vinegar, brown sugar, and 1/4 cup water. Simmer 2 minutes until thickened.

5. 5

   Toss the crispy chicken in the sauce and serve right away with the broccoli and rice.
