Recipe for General Tso's Chicken

[7thson]

Hey everyone, I am searching high and low for a recipe for Genral Tso's Chicken. I have found many recipes on the net that just do not recreate the dish you get in most oriental restraunts. I need a recipe that has been tried by someone and worked. Thanks all.

Because you seem to like General Tso's Chicken, i am wondering what it is. I've never heard of it up here in Scotland so what is it? and is it good?

I tried your recipe, and while it was okay, it just didnt recreate that wonderful flavor I am looking for, but thanks.

It is chicken that seems to be cubed or sliced into bite size pieces, it is covered with a sauce (this sauce is the key I think) that has a carmel like texture but tastes really good. You put it over fried rice and it makes a great meal.
