This is the quick and easy way that I make General Tso's chicken when we want Chinese food. It's lower in fat than the deep-fried chicken version that Chinese restaurants serve. I'm sure others do it this same way, and I hesitated about posting such a simple "recipe", but I'm posting it here so that I can see the nutritional information.

This was fine, very easy with what I had on hand very similar to a "dump dinner" great for a weeknight. Check the sauce your using some are way to salty and need a bit of thinning,'ll try a different brand next time.

quinoa instead of rice and used soy beans, water chestnuts, sprouts, peppers, onions and zucchini.

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for since I picked up a bottle of premade Tso sauce and dont typically use the "pre-made" sauces as I prefer to tweak for healthier ingredients. .

Not really a recipe since it requires a pre-made sauce. Tasty none-the-less.
