“…a stir-fried masterpiece, sizzling hot both in flavor and temperature”
That’s a review of the General Tso’s chicken at Peng’s Restaurant cited by this wikipedia article on this culinary dish of enigmatic origin. As much as Randall Park’s THE FOOD pulls my curiosity towards considerations of the roots of “Orange Chick-un“, the mystique of General Tao/Gao’s chicken remains, to me, untoppled. Then again, maybe someone like Jennifer 8. Lee has already decoded this one too, but I’ve uncovered no leads on anyone with the backstory…
Do you have any stories of General Tso’s chicken? An explanation of its creation or moments of it satiating excruciating hunger perhaps?
