General Tso's Chicken
General Tso's chicken is a Chinese-American creation — there is no General Tso's chicken in China. The dish was developed in the 1970s in New York by Taiwanese chef Peng Chang-kuei, and bears little resemblance to Hunanese cooking. However, as an expression of Chinese-American cooking at its best, it is worthy of serious treatment: boneless chicken, crispy-fried in a light batter, tossed in a sweet-hot-sour-savoury sauce of soy, vinegar, sugar, and dried chillies.
