General Tso's Chicken

General Tso's Chicken is a popular dish in Chinese cuisine that consists of lightly battered and deep-fried chicken pieces, which are then coated in a sweet and tangy sauce made with soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and chili peppers. The dish is typically served with rice or noodles and garnished with sesame seeds and scallions. Although it is believed to have originated in China, it has become an Americanized staple in Chinese restaurants across the United States.
