General Tso's Chicken

[Engineer]

Is GTC a midwest thing? Ive never seen this at a chinese restaurant in socal

Not sure but it's at all of the KY Chinese restaurants. Hell, WalMart even sells it by the pound out of the 'Hot Deli' here (and it's great from there too).

Fine, for you "purists" out there, I'll edit my recipe to say that it is "General Tso's Stir Fry."

The dish is defined by the sauce anyway. Or is someone here going to argue that the deep fried chicken in General Tsos is some how different than that which is used in other american chinese dishes, e.g., sesame chicken?

No, you have it all wrong.

Made fresh, it's General Tso's. The next day, it becomes sesame chicken. On the 3rd day, orange chicken.

Also, there's a total shithole in Dover that actually has pretty good General Tso's. I don't remember what it's called, but it has a yellow awning right downtown on Central. Best I've had in NH/ME, anyway.

Except once you try the authentic stuff, you will understand why the fake stuff is so bad.

Your terminology and conclusions are wrong. Other countries come up with prototypes. They have interesting ideas that aren't really fully thought out. We in america take those ideas and perfect them, so all can enjoy.

"Authentic" = first draft, not very good.
"Americanized" or in your lexicon "fake" = final product, delicious.
