To celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday that falls on September 15, my good friend Chef Kian Kho Liam sent me his cookbook as a gift so that I could share a holiday meal with my readers. I cooked a traditional recipe of the popular General Tso’s Chicken which was a feast for my family. This is not the usual westernized General Tso one would expect. After carefully following the clear, concise instructions of deep-frying the chicken cubes quickly, I cooked the golden brown sauce till it was thick, savory and slightly spicy. Serve this warm and crunchy with rice. This recipe was inspired by the
Phoenix Claws and Jade Trees Cookbook by Kian Lam Kho with photography by Jody Horton (Clarkson Potter). Makes 2 up to 4 servings if enjoyed with rice.
