General Tao Chicken
Cut up (in medium size cubes) about 1 lbs of chicken breasts and coat your cubes in corn starch.
MIXT A: In a bowl, mix together 2 eggs, 6 Tbs flour, 1 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp salt.
Now coat your chicken in MIXT A.
In a pan, heat up 1/2 c. oil and cook your chicken – make sure there is no more pink inside. When it’s ready, put it aside.
MIXT B: In a pan, fry for about 3 min.: 4 tsp sesame oil, 2 Tbs grated ginger, 1/2 c. green onions. Then add: 1/2 c. water, 4 Tbs white vinegar and 1/2 c. sugar. Cook until sugar is disolved.
MIXT C: 2 Tbs corn starch and 2 Tbs soy sauce. Add to MIXT B. Then add 4 Tbs oysters sauce and 4 Tbs ketchup to the pan (/ MIXT B).
Let simmer for a little bit, or until the sauce thickens. Pour the sauce over your chicken and mix well, make sure there’s lots of sauce!
* You can make your chicken in advance – the sauce does not take that much time to make when your stuff is grated and chopped… It’s a lot of work to some extent, but it’s really worth it!

It’s kind of hard to keep the floury chicken floury.
