General Tso's Chicken. A recipe! Can you believe it? The last couple of posts were just chatting chatting chatting. What happened to the food on this food blog? It is here. Waiting. I must warn you…they are coming for my ghetto computer today. Ok, enough bitching and moaning. How about now?

Pollo al estilo “General Tso” Ingredientes: Elaboración: Dim Sum?? No! Well, maybe? But not traditional by any means. We took 2 dim sum methods and made one with Italian ingredients, and one with taco leftovers! The idea came when Mandi saw these awesome things on tastespotting last week. She begged me to make them and I said I would if we also made another kind too. We decided to do them with some wontons.
We have been trying to save money lately with the move and upcoming flights for weddings and holidays, so we started thinking about fillings. Fresh tomatoes make food taste better. The dough recipe calls for hot water. Wide angle shot of the new kitchen. This is tomatoes and red peppers, can you tell what's what? Wonton filling minus the sausage. take the ground sausage meat out of the casing. This is tomatoes, onions, parsley, red peppers, garlic, sausage, and parmesan. Cilantro, garlic, and green onions for the taco one.
Add some cheese, then roll it up. A bit of tomato sauce left over. These were excellent. This is how a gangsta eats wontons. Torti-tons. A Sandwich a Day. Mozzarella Sticks. When I told my friends I was planning on making homemade mozzarella sticks for a guy’s weekend out of town the idea was met with a profound lack of enthusiasm. Everybody knows that I like to experiment in the kitchen, but somehow the idea of making a bar food staple like mozzarella sticks from scratch seemed like a complete waste of time to the group. After being lectured about the innumerable brands available in the freezer section at the grocery store and a heated debate about whether marinara or ranch is the better dipping accompaniment, I decided to risk further heckling and see if I couldn’t one-up T.G.I.
Friday’s in my own kitchen. It might have been the alcohol, but the first batch was gone within a matter of seconds.

After the second batch had been demolished, a few halfhearted concessions came my way; they had to admit, homemade outranked frozen by a long shot. Serves 4. No-Crust Spinach Quiche. Burgers.

A lot of folks have asked me for this recipe. It’s one of The Angry Chef’s signature dishes, and I was lucky to pry it away from him. This recipe is a dream come true for garlic lovers like me.

It develops a rich brown, garlicky crust and layers of flavor from being flipped and seasoned a handful of times.
Lemon juice, powdered peel, and fresh zest provide a triple dose of bright citrus flavor right near the end of cooking. Enjoy this chicken with any sort of hot, spicy rice (I have yet to get the recipe for the Demon Saffron Rice that he made around Halloween), some warm, buttered noodles, or grilled asparagus sprinkled with Parmesan.
