Healthy Chinese Food Recipe: BAKED GENERAL TSO CHICKEN
INGREDIENTS
1 pound boneless chicken breasts (cut into 2-inch pieces)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs (whipped)
2 cups chopped corn flakes
For the sauce
3/4 cup chicken stock
1/2 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons of sriracha sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
2 tablespoons of corn starch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water
Optional
1 teaspoon fried sesame oil or regular sesame oil
2 Chinese dried red chilli, finely chopped
sesame seeds
INSTRUCTIONS
- Move one of the oven racks to the upper middle portion and preheat the oven to 450ºF.
- Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place three large bowls one next to the other and cover the first with flour, the second with eggs, and the last with chopped corn flakes.
- Dip each piece of chicken in flour and egg and cover with chopped corn flakes, gently pressing it to the coat. Place on a baking sheet to cook.
- Bake in the oven for about 13 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the cornflakes turn golden brown.
- In the meantime, put all the ingredients for the sauce - except cornstarch - in a medium-sized pot and bring to a light boil. Let the corn starch and water mix quickly and slowly add to the sauce while stirring. Cook for a minute until the sauce thickens and turn off the heat.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and transfer to a large pan. Turn on the fire over low heat and pour the chicken sauce, evenly applying to each bite. * If you add sesame seeds, sesame oil and dried red chili, it's time to add them.
- Turn off the fire, transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
NOTES
You can also use breadcrumbs. I never tried it myself, but others said it was just as tasty!
