General Tso's Chicken is a popular Chinese-American dish that features deep-fried chicken pieces coated in a sweet, slightly spicy, and tangy sauce. It's a delightful combination of flavors that makes it a favorite in many Chinese restaurants.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the egg, cornstarch, salt, and pepper. Add chicken pieces to the mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or a large pan to 350°F (175°C). Add chicken pieces a few at a time and fry until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil. Add ginger, garlic, and dried red chilies, sautéing until fragrant.
Mix the chicken broth, soy sauce, sugar, hoisin sauce, and vinegar in a bowl to make the sauce. Add this sauce to the pan with ginger and garlic. Bring to a simmer.
Add the fried chicken pieces to the sauce. Stir well to coat evenly.
Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve hot, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.
