Preparation
 
Wow, with over a dozen Chinese or Oriental cookbooks, I had a hard
time finding this recipe! It is probably called something else (like
spicy fried chicken) and I really do have a dozen recipes.
:) This one is from _Elegant_ Entertaining_Cookbook_ by Myra Sable of
Sable and Rosenfeld, Bantam books.

General Tsao was a real person, general and poet who lived in China
155-220 AD.

rn e in the frig for 1 hour.

Heat the oil in a wok. Deep fry the chicken, a few pieces at a time,
about 1 minute or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper
towels. Pour all but 2 TB of the oil out of the wok.

To the oil in the wok, add the chili peppers, garlic and ginger,
stir-fry 2 minutes.

In a small bowl, combine the remaining soy sauce, vinegar, white wine
and 1 tea cornstarch, mix until smooth. Stir in sugar, sesame oil and
salt. Pour into wok, cook, stirring for 2 minutes until thickened.

Return chicken pieces to wok, mix well and serve.
