This is great! I put less chilling flakes than it called for

This takes a while to cook mainly because I make the recipe times 5 and it's take multiple batches of chicken cooking. This meal is incredible. Perfect flavoring for non spicy general tsos. Me and my kids LOVE this meal best recipes I have found for this meal!

Danielle Thomas· last year

Next time maybe a little less red pepper flakes but it was amazing I'll never buy the sauce again

I use General Tsos jar sauce from grocery store and mix it with soy sauce, water, rice vinegar and sugar.

My Tao sauce never came together. I am going to try it again because the flavor was great but it separated.

This was so delicious. Sweet, but with a slight kick. We had it with noodles too. Favourite in this household!
