GENERAL TSO'S CHICKEN AND SHRIMP
Pretty good, but not quite so healthy version of General Tso's Chicken. I am looking for ways to make it a bit healthier. If you have any ideas, please post. Adapted from http://thymefornourishment.wordpress.com/2009/04/05/general-tsos-shrimp/.

Steps:
- In a large bowl combine the cornstarch and beaten eggs. Mix well to create a batter. Add the shrimp and chicken and coat well.
- In a small bowl combine rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, the white parts of the scallion, and cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.
- Add oil to wok and heat to 375 degrees. Add shrimp and chicken to the wok in batches and cook untill shrimp are white and chicken is not pink. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Add crushed red peppers to the oil remaining in the wok and stir fry for about 30 seconds. Return the shrimp and chicken to the wok and stir fry for a minute or two.
- Add sauce mixture to the wok and stir until the sauce becomes thickened and coats the shrimp well. Garnish with the green parts of the scallions.
- Serve with broccoli and white rice.

Gentle emmy
e-gentle@gmail.comI'm not a fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious without them.

t_adil83@yahoo.comThis dish is definitely not diet food, but it's worth the splurge every once in a while.

o.e25@gmail.comThe sauce was a little too thick for my taste. I think I'll try thinning it out with some water or broth next time.
Hamoudi Beghila
hbeghila@gmail.comI found that the chicken and shrimp cooked a little unevenly. I think I should have cooked the shrimp separately.
