By making my own version at home I get to enjoy the flavors, but also have the option of bumping up the veggies, reducing the sodium and controlling the quality of ingredients used. With that said, it was always a "special treat." I use the term liberally since the "special treat" always left me feeling guilty, uncomfortable and wishing I hadn't indulged. No guilt. If I had to choose one last meal, it would be Chinese something.My version has only a fraction of the sodium (especially if you go with low-sodium soy sauce). I am always fascinated by the indentations that my rings leave in my finger after I eat it (please say that's not just me). It has WAY less sodium. Typical Chinese take-out is loaded with sodium.But, if you dig deep within yourself, you can admit take-out Chinese food has a tendency to put you in a bit of a bloated food coma. I know, off the bat that doesn't sound like a plus. Subbing liquid aminos for soy sauce elminates this issue. It's Gluten-Free. Typically General Tso's Chicken is made with Hoisin sauce, which contains gluten.I get it, I'm not exactly selling my version, but give me a chance. the sodium content, well it's like 1/12 of that of the take-out version. To start with, it isn't battered and fried, annnnnnd.
my version of "General Tso's chicken tastes NOTHING like the original. While the nutritional data of this Asian dish is STAGGERING. Buuut, I take honesty pretty seriously here on Simply Sissom and it wouldn't be fair. I really wanted to start this post off with a statistic containing nutritional information for the take out version of General Tso's chicken. Pin 30-Minute General Tso's Chicken for later!
