About the Dish Cooking Pack for General Tso's Chicken

General Tso's Chicken (also known as Zuo Gongji) originated in 1952, created by Hunan-born chef Peng Changgui in Taiwan. In order to cater to Western tastes, Peng deep-fried large chunks of chicken until golden and slightly charred, then stir-fried them with a special sauce to create this new dish.

Later, the dish gained widespread fame after being sampled and praised by former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger at Peng Yuan Restaurant. After being covered by media outlets such as The Washington Post and The New York Times, it gradually became known as the 'top dish' of Chinese cuisine in the eyes of Americans. With its crispy exterior, tender interior, vibrant color, and delicious flavor, General Tso’s Chicken has become one of the iconic representations of Chinese cuisine internationally.
