Baked Chicken with General Tso's-Orange SauceThis General Tso’s chicken is different, not the usual take-out variety.  First, the chicken isn’t diced, but left in pieces and then roasted.  Secondly, this really combines General Tso’s sauce with some orange zest and juice, creating the best of both worlds, General Tso’s and Orange chicken.  Both of The Goddess’s favorites, rolled into one lovely dish.  Continue reading →

baking soda, brown sugar, dry potato flakes, egg, fish sauce, fresh ginger, fresh herbs, Garlic, Ground pork, lemongrass, milk, Scallions, Shallots, Spices
