Crispy General Tso's Chicken Stir-Fry with Mixed Vegetables in a Sweet-Spicy Sauce


Ingredients:


For the Chicken:


1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces


1/2 cup cornstarch


1/2 cup all-purpose flour


1/2 teaspoon salt


Vegetable oil, for frying


For the Sauce:


1/4 cup soy sauce


3 tablespoons rice vinegar


3 tablespoons hoisin sauce


2 tablespoons sugar


1 tablespoon sesame oil


1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)


1/2 cup chicken broth


1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger


2 cloves garlic, minced


1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)


For the Vegetables:


1 red bell pepper, chopped


1 cup broccoli florets


1 carrot, thinly sliced


2 scallions, chopped (for garnish)


Sesame seeds, for garnish


Directions:


In a mixing bowl, combine cornstarch, flour, and salt. Dredge chicken pieces in the mixture until well coated.


Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in batches until golden and crispy (4–5 minutes). Drain on paper towels and set aside.


In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sugar, sesame oil, chicken broth, and the cornstarch slurry. Set aside.


In a large clean skillet or wok, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Add ginger and garlic; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.


Add broccoli, carrots, and bell peppers. Stir-fry for 3–4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.


Pour the sauce into the pan, bring to a simmer, and stir until thickened (1–2 minutes).


Add fried chicken pieces to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1 more minute to heat through.


Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds. Serve hot with steamed rice or noodles.
