| How To Make Walmart General Tso Chicken |
Gather Your Arsenal (a.k.a. Ingredients):
- Chicken: Boneless, skinless breasts are your best bet here. Think of them as blank canvases for your culinary masterpiece.
- Cornstarch: This is your secret weapon for achieving that crispy, golden-fried nirvana.
- Eggs: They'll act as the glue, holding the cornstarch onto the chicken and preventing it from becoming a soggy mess.
- Soy Sauce, Rice Vinegar, Sugar, Sesame Oil: These are the building blocks of your flavor bomb sauce.
- Garlic, Ginger, Red Pepper Flakes: The flavor trinity that will add a delightful punch to your dish.
- Green Onions: Because a little freshness never hurt anyone.
Pro Tip: Don't forget the hot oil for frying! You can use vegetable oil, peanut oil, or even canola oil. Just make sure it's hot enough to sizzle when the chicken hits the pan (but not so hot it bursts into flames, please!).

The Battle Begins (a.k.a. Cooking Instructions):
- Embrace the Cube: Dice your chicken into bite-sized pieces. Imagine them as miniature nuggets of deliciousness.
- Cornstarch Crusade: Dredge your chicken in cornstarch, coating them like little warriors preparing for battle (against your taste buds, that is).
- Eggcellent Dip: Whisk your eggs in a bowl. Then, gently dip your cornstarched chicken into the egg bath, ensuring even coverage.
- The Fiery Bath: Heat your oil in a pan or wok until it's sizzling hot. Carefully add your chicken pieces and fry them until they're golden brown and crispy. Think of them as getting a tan, but way cooler.
- Sauce Symphony: While your chicken is taking a well-deserved rest, whip up your sauce. Combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes in a saucepan. Bring it to a simmer and let the flavors mingle and mingle.
- Return of the Chicken: Add your crispy comrades back to the pan and toss them in the glorious sauce. Let them simmer for a few minutes, allowing the sauce to coat them in sticky, sweet, and spicy goodness.
- Garnish with Green Glory: Sprinkle your creation with chopped green onions for a pop of color and freshness.
And voila! You've just conquered the Walmart General Tso Chicken at home, saving yourself from the clutches of those pesky delivery fees and emerging victorious (and full).
Remember, fellow foodies:
- Don't be afraid to experiment! Adjust the spice level to your liking, add other veggies, or even try different proteins (shrimp or tofu, anyone?).
- Embrace the mess! Cooking is an adventure, not a science experiment. So relax, have fun, and enjoy the process (even if your kitchen ends up looking like a war zone).
- Most importantly, savor your creation! You've earned it, brave warrior. Now, go forth and conquer your cravings (and maybe clean up that kitchen later).
