LIGHTER GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN
Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon of the cornstarch and the cold water together until smooth. Add the garlic, ginger, brown sugar, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes and whisk to combine. Stir in the peas and set aside. In a small bowl, whisk the egg whites, remaining 3 tablespoons of cornstarch, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the chicken pieces, and toss to coat. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, and once shimmering, add half of the chicken from the egg white mixture (be sure to shake the excess off). Cook the chicken until golden on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil. Add the remaining oil to the pan and repeat with the other half of the chicken. Reduce the heat under the pan then add the snow pea mixture to the now empty skillet. Cover the pan and cook until the peas are tender and the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Add the chicken (and any juices on the plate) back to the skillet. Toss to coat with the sauce and, if necessary, finish cooking the chicken through. Serve the chicken on a bed of rice, if desired.

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

[email protected]The chicken was a bit dry, but the sauce was delicious. I think I'll try marinating the chicken next time to see if that helps.

[email protected]This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great! The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's easily fixed by adding less honey. Overall, I'm very happy with this recipe and I'll definitely be making it again.

[email protected]I've tried a lot of General Tso's chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken is perfectly crispy, the sauce is delicious, and the whole dish is incredibly flavorful. I highly recommend this recipe!

[email protected]This Lighter General Tso's Chicken is a game-changer! It's so much healthier than the traditional version, but it still packs a ton of flavor. I love that it uses Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, and the honey and rice vinegar give it the perfect
