My General Tos Chicken

I've heard the name,but what exactly is this?

To: rikk
Hi Rick.. It's deep-fried Sweet chicken that is popularly served in North American Chinese restaurants. The dish was unknown in China and other lands home to the Chinese diaspora before it was introduced by chefs returning from the United States.

To: rikk
The ingredients are so simple...
Sauce: soy sauce, rice wine, rice wine vinegar, sugar, cornstarch, dried red chili peppers (whole), garlic, MSG.
Batter/breading: egg, cornstarch.
I'm sure you make this.. Maybe with a different name :)

I see,I really haven't seen this in Hong Kong,but you are right,probably in another name.I'll do a little research and try find out what exactly it is.I have to skip the MSG though,I'm super allergic to it,that why I rarely to to restaurant these days,you are ok with it?Thank you!

To: rikk
Honestly, I skip the MSG cause I don't know what it is! lol!!
I saw it in the store but I was just like, "I'm not buying that! I can just use garlic powder" lol!

To: rikk
I've heard that MSG makes you great fulfillment in your meals. Like you've never eaten an hour later

To: Trivia36 oh you don't know that?It's artificial flavouring,mostly chemicals,makes food more tasty,but very thirsty after eating too much of it.

To: Trivia36 Mainly Asian chefs use this,and home cook really shouldn't ,especially there are so many ways to cook and natural flavouring that make your food taste better,so skip it,great cook like you don't need that!!

To: rikk
Lol!!
That's why you're my teacher!

To: rikk
Wow! My gut feeling told me to just use garlic and a tiny ginger powder. I'm glad I did :)

To: Trivia36 haha thanks,just love to share what I know,but everybody is familiar with that in Asia...

To: rikk
So.. What does MSG do to you?
Do you become I'll from it?

To: Trivia36 just makes me thirsty and dizzy,things like that,but strangely ,drinking coke helps....

To: rikk
Dizzy!?!
Wow! That's scary!
I'll skip that! It sounds like drugs

To: Trivia36 just slightly to some people,but really no need for it!
