Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp (5 mL) VH® Soy Sauce
- 1/2 bottle (355mL) VH® General Tao Sauce
- 1/4 cup (32 g) cornstarch
- 1/2 lb. (250 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
- 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) canola oil
- 1 small onion, cut in half crosswise and then into 10 thin wedges
- 1-1/2 cups (192 g) broccoli florets
- 1/2 sweet red pepper, cut into strips
- 1/2 cup (120 g) Jasmine Rice, cooked according to package directions
Directions
-
Step one
In a large bowl, whisk together egg, VH® Soy Sauce and 1 tbsp. (15 mL) of VH® General Tao Sauce. Whisk in cornstarch until well combined and liquefied. Stir in chicken pieces until well coated.
-
Step two
In a wok set over high heat, heat oil until very hot, about 350° F (175° F). In batches, add chicken pieces. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes per batch, until the chicken is deep golden and crunchy. Using tongs, transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat until all of the chicken is done.
-
Step three
Drain oil from wok, leaving 2 tbsp. (30 mL) in wok. Add onion; stir-fry for 2 minutes. Stir in broccoli, red pepper and 1/3 cup (75 mL) water. Cover and steam for 3 minutes or until broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp. Stir in remaining VH® General Tao Sauce; cook, stirring, for 1 minute until vegetables are well coated and sauce has begun to simmer. Stir in chicken until well coated and heated through, about 1 minute.
