General Tso’s Wok Chicken II
This recipe for four is quick, easy and tasty. If you enjoy Chinese, chicken and Broccoli you’ll love this one. This recipe is a slight variation from my original (more veggies and no white meat) and only takes about 40 – 45 minutes from start to finish including firing up the Egg; note that cleaning of the dirty dishes is not included in the preparation and cooking time.

•6 Cloves Fresh Garlic (minced)
•1 - 8 Oz. Can Water Chestnuts (sliced)
•1 - 15 Oz. Can Baby Corn
•EVOO




Preparation and Cooking Directions1.Bring 1 ½ Quarts of lightly salted water to a boil.
2.Add rice, stir and set aside
3.Fire Up BGE to full T-Rex
4.Cut chicken thighs into 1 inch (bite size) pieces and set aside
5.Place wok on grid and add approximately a quart of water
6.Place vegetables in Bamboo Steamer and place on wok (when water begins to steam)
7. Cook until tender or al dente (preferred). Remove steamer and let sit.
8.Dump water and place Wok back on Grid at fire ring level and add EVOO.
9.When oil is hot add the diced garlic and onions and stir until onions start to turn translucent
10.Dump in chicken and stir fry until (done 6-8 minutes)

I like the variation but don't do much breading of anything. It's more authentic but the sauce is the key for the taste to me. Thanks for the link I'll add that to my list of things to try.Visit my blog, dedicated to my Big Green Egg Recipies at http://www.bigtsbge.blogspot.com You can also follow my posts on FaceBook under the name Keep On Eggin' or the link http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Keep-On-Eggin/198049930216241

Thanks for posting....I'm adding this to my "to egg" list!

that's a nice looking meal. Have you ever used jasmine rice? I find it's really good at soaking up the sauce.
FWIW..
the sauce that I make for "The general" is
1 part soy
1/4 pary vinegar
1/2 part sugar
chop up some garlic and ginger together.
dried chilies
some corn starch
I know that probably didn't help... I was really outlining the ingredients... very simple sauce to make.. adjust the flavours to your liking.context is important
