Healthy Recipe: General Tso's Chicken

[mbg10484]

You have disgraced General Tso so greatly, don't be surprised if some Shaolin monks come to "enlighten" you, haha.

[guestaccount26]

This looks great. I am going to make it tommorow and use mushrooms in place of the chicken.

[HeyImProdigy]

General SAO

[fernandoiscrazy]

So this is how White people try to lose weight by ruining classic Asian recipes?

[dorristhecat]

[vassili1234]

[beachplumm]

[missmakeyourself]

this looks sooo yummy! i will be making this someday for sure.

i love love love the color of your nail polish too. :]

[rockybarragan]

thank you!

[cookiesncocktails]

im making this today, only i couldnt find any mongolian fire oil :0( Booo... but i should be able to improvise... it will be my first time trying spaghetti squash so im geekily excited!

[rockybarragan]

Do you have some sort of sesame oil? If not just put some soy sauce and maybe some chili paste or something along those lines to liven up the spaghetti squash and veg.

Let me know how it comes out!

[cookiesncocktails]

I found a different spicy sauce which had 5 calories per teaspoon and was really good. Rocky I made this, tasted it before going to bed ( i work mdnights) and I figured when I wake up I will have some.... wouldnt you know my family gobbled it up ENTIRELY lol they loved it.. so all i got was the small taste test lol

[rockybarragan]

LOL Well I'm glad they liked it!

[angie8605]

So I made this dish tonight and it was fantastic! There is no need to go buy the high fat high carb stuff at the buffet anymore!!! Thanks! This was just great!

[rockybarragan]

omg, i am so glad you liked it!! yay!!!

[freespiritcat]

mmmmmmmm i love chinese food!!!!

[rockybarragan]

it was definitely mmmm....making this one again for sure!

[fit4lifejourney]

spagheti squash? That's a new concept for me... I need to check it out! Looks yummy!

[rockybarragan]

let me know how it comes out. the spaghetti squash was a really good option and it's so low and calories and filling.

let me know if you have any questions about the spaghetti squash. it takes some elbow grease to cut it first off so be really careful. just go slow.

[damayanthiJ]

This is great recipe. Will try & let you know how I got on.

[rockybarragan]

thank you! please do let me know how it went. i love the feedback.

[fingerpaintsmile]

Looks delicious! How long did you pan fry the spaghetti squash? Was it tender like pasta when you were done? I've made it once and I'm not sure if I cooked it long enough because it was still slightly crunchy.

[rockybarragan]

hmm....probably about 15 minutes tops. that was after steaming it. i had to add a bit of chicken stock to the pan though because the moisture was causing the squash to stick to the pan. the stock plus the bit of mongolian chili oil helped.

[rockybarragan]

LOL Sorry and thank you!

[abbeymore1]

i bet that's soooooo tasty! I never knew about spaghetti squash.

[rockybarragan]

it was so good, girl. sooo good!

[abbeymore1]

I bet!

Guess what i had with a wrap today? Scramled eggs with loads of onion, pepper flakes,, tomatoes, peppers and a slice of cheese melted in the mix! Soooooooooo good!

[rockybarragan]

I am so glad I had dinner before I read this. LOL That sounds soooo incredibly good!

[abbeymore1]

lol. It was. Can't wait to do it again.

[Chemchoumi]

Oh my God this looks so yummy and I will be making it for sure... Greetz from the netherlands!!

[rockybarragan]

thank you! if you make it let me know how it comes out!

have a great night!

[dancem89]

[rockybarragan]

oo i love watching rick bayless. i was so happy when he won top chef masters. that is such a compliment. thank you!

[TheFoody]

omg i love general tso's chicken!!! thanks for the great recipe!!

btw when you do your videos, do you make the dish once before you film or do you film it the first time??

[rockybarragan]

thank you!

it depends. the majority i have made before because they were the dishes i made to lose weight. most of the subscriber vids i haven't made before.

[angie8605]

This looks fabulous! I am making it like tomorrow! Great Recipe!

[rockybarragan]

thank you! let me know how it comes out!

[allisonpacino]

I haven't even finished watching the video ,but I just had to comment....I know a lot of folks will love this take on General Tso's....It used to be one of my favorites ...I would love to make the sauce and just eat it with the veg...Thanks Rocky!

[rockybarragan]

you could totally do that. actually i originally thought of making it with the morningstar breaded imitation chicken tenders.

thank you!

[allisonpacino]

Hey that's a great idea! I am going shopping again tomorrow ,so maybe I'll find some stuff to make it :)

[2bemawga]

Ok I hvant even watched the vid yet BUT over the weekend I literally was contemplating making general tzos chicken.

Ok now Im gonna watch the vid :)

[rockybarragan]

hope you like it! :D

[huebear]

my favorite dish! Cant wait to try it with the squash!

[rockybarragan]

yay! let me know what you think!

[onxbutterfly]

I thought for sure you would use the T- Joe's General Tso's Sauce. But you made another yummy variation instead.. mmmm

[rockybarragan]

i actually have some of that in my cupboard...i bought it awhile back but i got the recipe for the sauce online so i figured...why not? it was so good!

[neecyd63]

That looks really great! I love spaghetti squash. I usually just cut in half and put it upside down on a plate in the microwave, but that's cause doing a whole squash ends up being way too much for me. I bet that would taste good using shrimp instead of chicken too! Great video!

[rockybarragan]

it could definitely be good with shrimp too. i might just do that next time.

thank you!

[TenaciousBeautyShow]
