For the chicken:<\/strong><\/p>\n For the sauce:<\/strong><\/p>\n For the rest of the dish:<\/strong><\/p>\n In a medium bowl, mix the ground chicken<\/strong> with the Shaoxing wine, salt, white pepper,<\/strong> and sesame oil.<\/strong> Set aside to marinate while you prep the other ingredients. (Or if making ahead, cover and refrigerate overnight.)<\/p>\n Make the sauce:<\/strong><\/p>\n To a measuring cup, add the chicken stock, brown sugar, light soy sauce,<\/strong> rice vinegar,<\/strong> and dark soy sauce.<\/strong> Set aside. Set water<\/strong> to boil for steaming the broccoli.<\/strong><\/p>\n While that\u2019s happening, add the flour<\/strong> and cornstarch<\/strong> to a shallow dish, stirring with a fork or whisk to combine. Break up the ground chicken<\/strong> into pieces on top of the cornstarch,<\/strong> then use your fingers to break up the ground chicken<\/strong> into nuggets\/large chunks and toss them in the cornstarch flour mixture.<\/strong><\/p>\n Heat your wok or skillet over high heat. Add the oil<\/strong> and ground chicken<\/strong> in a single layer and fry until golden. Once a golden crust has formed, use a wok spatula to flip the chicken<\/strong> and let it brown once more undisturbed. Repeat until the chicken<\/strong> is uniformly seared. Remove from the wok, leaving behind any oil.<\/strong><\/p>\n Add the broccoli<\/strong> to the steamer and steam for 5-6 minutes until crisp tender.<\/p>\n With the heat on medium-high, add the red chili peppers<\/strong><\/span> and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic<\/strong> and cook for another 30 seconds to a minute.<\/p>\n Stir up your sauce<\/strong> and add it to the pan. Bring to a simmer. Add the chicken,<\/strong> toss until the chicken<\/strong> is coated and the sauce<\/strong> is caramelized and sticky. There should be very little standing sauce.<\/strong><\/p>\n Serve immediately with the steamed broccoli<\/strong> and steamed rice!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yield: 4 Adapted from: Woks of Life Ground chicken is the key to making Shortcut General Tso\u2019s Chicken that cuts out chopping and deep-frying steps without compromising flavor!
