hi hello! Tonight we're making a General Tso's Chicken recipe that i wrote which is loosely based on hacking the Panda Express General Tso's Chicken, and makes use of the J Kenji Lopez "double fry" method for a super crunchy fried chicken. Tonight's "Woo Can Cook" version deviates from the Panda Express recipe in a few ways, mainly in the incorporation of spicy black bean paste, which you may more commonly recognize from the Chinese "Zha Jiang Mian" noodle dish.
