General Tso's Sauce
Use this rich, sweet, and spicy General Tso's sauce to make a delicious stir fry on a busy weeknight.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar Note 1
- 4 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce Note 2
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 4 tablespoons granulated sugar Note 3
To thicken the sauce (when cooking):
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients.
- Give the ingredients a good whisk until the sugar is dissolved, and the ingredients are well incorporated.
- To use the sauce, whisk well (if stored in a jar, shake very well) as the cornstarch usually sits at the bottom. And cook in skillet until it thickens, then toss with the prepared chicken.
Notes
- Rice vinegar can be substituted with white distilled vinegar.
- Hoisin sauce can be substituted with oyster sauce.
- Sugar can be substituted with honey or agave syrup.
- After whisking the ingredients, you will get a smooth sauce but the sesame oil will keep separating and that's totally normal.
