3 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons Rice Wine Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 Tablespoon Ketchup
4 Tablespoons Chicken Broth
1 teaspoon Crystalized Ginger, ground to powder
1 Tablespoon Garlic paste
1 Pich +- Cayenne
Bring to a simmer and add enough corn starch to thicken
My understanding is that real General Tso's Sauce is done in the wok after cooking the chicken (dark pieces only). To do this, cut my ingredients by 1/2 and you should make enough to work for two or three servings.
You will need several small (bird's eye or Pequin) dried red peppers, to add to the wok too. I would put them in first so that they can do their stuff while the sauce is coming together.
You'll need some chopped scallions to add at the end.

Thinking about making this tonight but I don't necessarily want to deep fat fry the chicken....
Suggestions?

Just cook it (unbreaded) in the wok in a little oil with maybe a touch of sesame oil added.
For General Tso's w/unfried chicken
Make white rice and set aside.
Thaw chicken - use only dark meat. Mix minced garlic and a very small ampount of finely minced ginger with a touch of rice wine vinegar and let it rest for a few minutes.
Then quickly cook the chicken in your hot wok, add a little onion, pul all f that up the side of the wok. Make the sauce in the bottom of the wok, then pull the chicken back down into the sauce and add sesame seeds and some chopped green onions just before removing the dish.
Plate over steamed white rice.
Make plenty and eat some for me. I love General Tso's chicken. We hardly ever fry the chicken when we do it.
I am guilty of making a big pile of fried rice and serving mine over fried rice, but that really is something other than General Tso's chicken.
Here is my fried rice post from a while back
Here is another sauce that is good this way. Lemon Chicken
3 Tablespoos lemon juice
2 Tablespoons white sugar
5 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
pinch of salt
cook chicken, pull up side of wok, make lemon sauce. Pul chicken back down and cook for a minute or two. Serve over white rice
One more - Honey chicken
2 cloves garlic minced
1/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon rice wine
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon cornstarch
do chicken as above - do honey sauce. Pull chicken back down into sauce and add sesame seeds. plate over white rice.
do all of these teh same night and have an all you can eat chicken buffet.
