Vegan General Tso's Chicken Recipe (gluten-free)
Instructions
Prep:25minCook:10min
General Tso's chicken is a spicy, aromatic, sweet and sour dish with roots in Hunan, China, Taiwan and New York City. Now we branch off again with Vegan General Tso's 'Chicken'! In this recipe, I use the BEST vegan fried chicken, oven-fried, as the vegan chicken alternative. It's amazingly juicy, crispy, crunchy, and perfect for rolling in sweet and sour sauce while still retaining its texture. However, the BEST vegan fried chicken recipe takes a couple days of prep to freeze and thaw the main ingredient, medium firm tofu. To speed up this recipe, you can use store-bought vegan chicken alternatives. Follow the dredging and baking instructions for vegan chicken alternatives that do not have breading already. For vegan chicken tenders with breading, you can simply heat them up according to package instructions and toss them into the stir-fry at the end. After you have your vegan chicken prepared, the stir-fry takes 15 minutes or less. This recipe is easily made gluten-free by choosing gluten-free tamari instead of regular soy sauce and dry sherry instead of Shaoxing wine.
