NY is where I was first introduce to this Chinese dish, and at first, it was ho hum, but it grew on me, I guess. This popular dish gets a lift from the addition of orange peel, hence its other name, Orange Peel Chicken or General Tso's Chicken with Orange.

How to make it
- CUT CHICKEN INTO THIN SLICES 2 inches long, cutting against the grain.
- Put it into a bowl together with the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, ginger, cornstarch and 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well, and then let the mixture marinate for about 20 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet until it is very hot.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade with a slotted spoon. Add it to the pan and stir-fry it for 2 minutes until it browns. Remove it and leave to drain in a colander or sieve. Pour off most of the oil, leaving about 2 teaspoons.
- Reheat the pan over a high heat and then add the dried chilies. Stir-fry them for 10 seconds, and then return the chicken to the pan. Add the rest of the ingredients and stir-fry for 4 minutes, mixing well. Serve the dish at once.
