Simple General Tso’s Chicken
I love cooking Asian inspired dishes and I have made General Tso’s before but this is a simpler recipe and tastes delicious. We paired the chicken with sesame noodles (recipe pending) and loved it. What makes this recipe different from our other General Tso’s, is the number of ingredients, spiciness, and it’s quick. If you have the time and ingredients try our other General Tso’s recipe, link below. If you want a quick and flavorful recipe, this is the one to make.
This is a great simple General Tso’s chicken that we will be eating often.
It’s almost Thanksgiving and if you have a recipe you would like to share, inbox us!
