Enjoy this Asian classic by sautéing the chicken instead of frying.
Ingredients
Directions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together broth, cornstarch, sweetener (like Splenda), soy sauce, vinegar and ginger; set aside.
- Heat oil in a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions, garlic and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring frequently, 2 minutes. Add chicken; sauté until browned all over, about 5 minutes.
- Add reserved sauce to pan and simmer until sauce thickens and chicken is cooked through, about 3-5 minutes.
- After sauce has slightly thickened, add the broccoli florets. Remove from heat.
- Serve chicken and sauce over rice.
- Yields about 1 cup chicken with sauce and 1/2 cup rice per serving.

Lean. A good stir fry. But I don't know if I would call it general Tsao's. Didn't really taste like the same sauce to me.
