Just loved this recipe and so did my family. I didn't have pineapple juice so I used orange juice and it was awesome! Just loved this recipe! Can't wait to make it again!!!

Ok, I have been craving some good General Tso's Chicken and this hit the spot.

I was afraid to try to make something like this because I thought it had to be difficult. But boy was I wrong. This is a fast dish that can be quickly thrown together and still tastes AMAZING...

Substitutions and changes I made to the dish.

I made this for my 3 and 5 year old so I replaced the dry red peppers (which are usually Chili peppers) and used small sweet red peppers.

After I added the peppers I also added the onions to they would soften a bit before I added the sauce. (This is just personal preference.) once a few started to brown I added the sauce and let is simmer for about a minute before adding the cornstarch to thicken it.

The rice actually too longer to cook than the whole meal! so I turned the wok down and left it simmer until the rice finished. The sauce glazed the chicken nicely and the meal was perfect!!!

This is probably the best General Tso's Chicken recipe that I've found. My only complaint is that the vinegar is a little overbearing. Does anyone have an idea of what to add instead of vinegar, or should I add less vinegar all together?
