Serge’s General Tso

Serge’s General Tso

Recipe Book: Yves' Recipe Book

Name and origins
The food has been associated with the name General Tso, a Qing Dynasty general from Hunan (???, 1812–1885). The General himself has never eaten the dish as it is today. The descendants of General Tso still living say that they have never heard of such a dish. It is believed that the dish was originated in New York.
As documented by Fuchsia Dunlop in the New York Times, one claim is that the recipe was invented by Taiwan-based Hunan cuisine chef Peng Chang-kuei (a.k.a. Peng Jia). he moved to New York to open a restaurant. That was where Peng Jia started inventing new dishes and modifying traditional ones; one new dish, General Tso's chicken, was originally prepared without sugar, and subsequently altered to suit the tastes of “non-Hunanese people”.
The dish or its variants are known by a number of names, including ; General Tao’s chicken, Governor Tso’s chicken, General Gau’s chicken, General Tong’s chicken, General Tang’s chicken, General Cho’s chicken, General Chau’s chicken, General Joe’s Chicken, T.S.O. Chicken, General Ching’s chicken, House Chicken, or simply General’s Chicken.
