About the Dish Cooking Pack for General Tso's Chicken
General Tso's Chicken, also known as Zuo Gong Ji, originated in 1952 and was created by Hunan chef Peng Changgui in Taiwan. To cater to Western tastes, Chef Peng deep-fried large pieces of chicken until golden and slightly charred, then stir-fried them with a special sauce, resulting in a new and delicious dish.
The dish gained world-wide fame after being praised by former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who enjoyed it at Peng's restaurant. Following coverage by media outlets like The Washington Post and The New York Times, General Tso's Chicken became widely regarded as the quintessential Chinese dish in America. Known for its crispy exterior and tender interior, along with its vibrant color and rich flavor, it remains one of the most iconic representations of Chinese cuisine worldwide.
