Although, the vast majority of those are by weird robots that visit blogs hoping that the blogger will click the redirect link :-P I should add ads and get paid for the robots visiting.
Today I made:
General Tso's Chicken, Every Day with Rachael Ray, May 2012
with steamed snow peas
I don't know what General Tso's chicken is supposed to be like, but this is supposed to be a healthier remake of it. Actually, it has the nutrition information comparing it to takeout General Tso's, and it's basically the same calorie count. But it's supposedly better "quality" of calories, whatever that means. This dish cooks very quickly, but it wasn't crispy (is it supposed to be?). The coating has a ton of corn starch in it, so when I was stirring it I thought it was too dry and wouldn't possibly cover the chicken. But when I stopped stirring, it got all wet and loose. Non-Newtonian fluids for ya. It ended up covering the chicken quite fine, but the sauce (which also had cornstarch in it) became pretty solid as soon as it hit the frying pan and only kind of covered the chicken.
G liked this dish, although he said it's nothing like General Tso's chicken is normally. But he was a fan of the tenderness of the chicken. We used chicken tenderloin, so that's probably why it was so tender :)
