Ingredients:
3lbs of boneless chicken (see notes below)
A mix of cornstarch/pepper/salt to dust the chicken
1lb of broccoli (partially steamed)
1 can of water chestnuts drained
Red chili flakes (or whole dried red chilies) to taste
3Tbs of ginger/garlic paste or equal portions of each ginger and garlic grated
Optional Garnish: toasted sesame seeds
Notes:
1. You can adjust your ingredients according to how much chicken you use. Divide all the ingredients by 3 to make only one pound of chicken.
2. I used thigh meat, but you can lower the calories more by using breast meat
General Tso's Sauce for 3lbs of chicken:
1/2 cup of soy sauce
1/4 cup of hoisin sauce
2-3Tbs of honey
1Tbs rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup of chicken broth (or water/bullion equivalent)
1/4 cup of Shao Hsing Chinese Rice Wine or substitute dry sherry
2Tbs cornstarch
Note: Divide all the sauce ingredients by 3 to make only one pound of chicken.
Directions:
Partially steam your broccoli in your wok with a little bit of water. Cook to your desired tenderness. I like mine tender crisp (still with a little crunch). Once cooked, set aside and get your wok ready to stir fry.
**make your sauce and cut your chicken while you steam your broccoli.

Cut your boneless, skinless chicken into bite size pieces. Then lightly dust in a mixture of cornstarch, salt and pepper.
Use about 1Tbs of oil per one pound batch of chicken. I first heated 1Tbs of oil and put in 1lb of of the coated chicken to fry (remember to shake off excess coating). I then pushed the browned pieces to the side and added another 1Tbs of oil and proceeded to fry the next pound of chicken. Repeat the same method for the 3rd pound.
Once the chicken is browned well and almost cooked, add your ginger, garlic and dried chilies (or flakes). Stir fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Now add your prepared sauce. Cook until the sauce starts to thicken up and coat the chicken.
Finally add your partially steamed broccoli and drained water chestnuts. Stir well the chicken and sauce. Taste for seasoning. If you desire more salt, add soy sauce. If you desire more sweetness add some more honey.
Serve with rice and enjoy.
