General Tso Sauce Recipe
General Tso Sauce combines soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, chili sauce, chicken broth, and cornstarch to create a tangy, sweet, and mildly spicy glaze. The sauce thickens gently as it heats, offering a smooth coating ideal for tossing with chicken or vegetables. Its balance of sweet honey and savory soy with a hint of chili makes it suitable for recreating the signature flavor of General Tso's dishes.
