Takeout Asian Chicken

A work-in-progress recipe that's a little like General Tso's, my favorite take-out dish.  Sauce inspired by Mean Guy's, though I'm curious if I could incorporate some tamarind paste for a different twist...

Whisk together

1. 1 egg white
2. splash soy sauce

Mix to coat

1. 1 lb. chicken breast, large cubes

Drain chicken and coat in

1. 1 c seasoned flour

Pan fry over medium-high heat until crispy, golden brown, and done through.  Remove to clean bowl.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk

1. 4 T sugar
2. 4 T soy sauce
3. 2 T rice vinegar
4. 2 T water or white wine
5. 1/4 t Better Than Bullion Chicken concentrate
6. sriracha, to taste

Cook in the now-empty pan until thickened into a glaze, a few minutes.  Pour over fried chicken and toss to coat.  Serve with rice and green vegetables (broccoli, snap or sweet peas, etc).  To have everything done at the same time, start white rice just prior to heating the pan for the chicken.

Spicy Chicken with Green Onions

A yummy little recipe from a tiny book called "Bon Appetit Quick & Delicious". It definitely is hot, though, so you really have to serve it with some creamy coleslaw.

In a small bowl, whisk together

1. 2 T olive oil
2. 1 T hot pepper sauce (Tabasco, Texas Pete, etc)
3. 2 t honey
4. 1 green onion, minced

Save 2 T of this mixture and pour the rest into a zip-top bag with

1. 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes, then remove and grill along with

1. remaining green onions from the bunch, lightly salted

until done. Place on top of or alongside coleslaw and top with reserved marinade.
