This General Tso Sauce is rich, sweet, and spicy, making it perfect for all your favorite stir-fry dishes. Once I learned how to make it at home, it completely changed the way I cook. I use it for marinating meat or tofu, and even as a dip. The first time I tasted it, I was completely hooked. And yes, you can make it too in just 10 minutes. This homemade version truly puts any takeout or store-bought sauce to shame.
