How to make it
- Marinate meat: Mix ingredients together, marinate overnight.
- TSO SAUCE: You can prepare sauce a couple hrs in advance. Just let it sit covered at room temperature until ready to re-heat.
- Mix ingredients into a sealed quart jar and let spices sit 2 hrs shaking occasionally to mix peppers in juice. Just prior to cooking sauce, remove and discard chili peppers.
- Shake sauce container well, then pour in a saucepan over med-high heat. Whisk constantly, cause it thickens fast!
- Once sauce starts thickening, it should be removed from heat (while still whisking) and monitored for correct consistency. This happens quickly.
- Add water to thin, if needed.
- MEAT:
- 1 c Cornstarch (used as breading. Fries crispier)
- 1 c Green Onions (sliced into 1” pieces)
- ¾ c Red Bell Pepper (cut into ¾”-1” inch squares)
- Bread chicken in a ziploc bag of cornstarch, or dredge in bowl.
- Discard marinade.
- Deep fry chicken pieces in 1 inch of oil (350 degrees) until chicken is crispy (6-7 min).
- Drain on paper towels. Repeat until all chicken chunks are fried.
- Preheat large fry pan/wok with 1-2 T olive oil to high heat
- Add red bell peppers to pan and stir-fry about 1 min
- Add onions and stir fry an additional min.
- Add chicken to pan, stir fry 2 min.
- Add sauce and cook until all is hot and bubbly.
- Serve with fried or steamed rice.
