Secret Ingredients:
The authentic recipe of General Tso’s chicken always calls for the following ingredients:
Soy sauce. Use a good quality soy sauce.
Dark soy sauce lends nice dark brown color to the dish.
Chinese rice vinegar plays a vital role in lending the bold vinegary note to the sauce.
Hoisin Sauce is the secret ingredient.
Dried red chilies—an important ingredient in Hunan cooking, making the chicken and the sauce mildly spicy.
