Another attempt at General Tso.
-Baked fresh chicken thighs covered with foil 45min at 275deg in cast iron. Maybe not long enough. Didn't fall apart. An hour would be better.
-Cut in pieces and refrigerate.
-I used 1/4 flour 3/4 corn starch and soy sauce to make clingy batter. Still too sticky after deep frying in peanut oil. That went quick. Needs more flour perhaps.
-If you use tapioca powder..it will be way too sticky..
Put used oil in bowl and strain through coffee filter into container. Refrigerate. Use later.
Sauce was red pepper flakes, oranges too soft to eat, frozen orange peels, garlic, frozen minced ginger, pouch of store bought sos. Simmered and reduced until ready.
The stir fried rice turned out pretty good all by itself.
-Frozen gallon bag of rice warmed up and dried out to absorb. About 20 min on the side then into a big bowl.
-Polish sausage, shrimp, peas, half a mini bag carrots. Individually fried. Back in the bowl.
-Frozen minced ginger, onions, add everything back, make space and boil sos, mix together.
-Added some egg afterwards.
Made about 6-9 servings
