New and Improved Recipe: ruclips.net/video/8zbkVCzb8v4/видео.html
I love the honest critique and that it came out a little burned. It's like being in a real kitchen instead of the super fake videos that I don't trust.
I like the honesty of dude and the unedited part showing the "Blackend" chicken pieces bcs that is REAL LIFE! Thank you.
tomato paste burnt that was left on the chicken.
Suzanne Firth No, she had the baking sheet too close (too high) to the upper element. The pieces closest to the exposed element burned.
I love how you cook with chop sticks and then Dude eats with a fork! Adorable! Thank for the recipe!
My friend just got me an Instant Pot on Prime Day as a gift for watching her house/dogs/cats while her family is on vacation.....Having jumped down the rabbithole of recipes on YT, this sounds like one of the best so far, can't wait to try it!
Yes, love our air fryer!!! A lot of pre made frozen dishes don’t even need any additional oil ... it cooks everything so nice and crisp and easy and lighter . We even do garlic bread in there ... literally anything .. between my instapot and air fryer ... love them ! I can’t wait to try this recipe!! Thank you !!
Tomato paste comes in a tube now. Just squeeze out what you need & put in fridge. You can find it in the Italian food section of grocery store. FYI
It’s actually still not that easy to find here in Vancouver. I have only seen them in the specialty stores. And they are so expensive!
Flo and Dude have become my Favorite You Tube Couple. Honest, straight forward and informative ! IP On !!
Freezing the tomato paste like that is pure genius! 😀👍🏼
With an air fryer you don’t even need oil, just pop your food in there and you cook it it’s amazing I love my air fryer and I love my instant pot! Best of both worlds!
Really appreciate the honest critique at the end. Will definitely make this version when I'm looking for a leaner version of General Tso's 😬
Oh, that tomato paste idea is great. I hate the waste that always happens because you use too little from the can.
Exactly! Now, no need to waste or figure out what to do with the rest of the can.
You can get a tube of tomato paste at the market. It's similar to a tooth paste tube but it's seal able and is stored in the fridge after it's been opened.
I also do the tomato paste idea in ice cube trays, and then store in bags in the freezer.
Yeah Paul, you can get just about anything one can imagine, but a tube of tomato paste is ridiculously expensive, and begins to separate in the tube over time. Where as a can of paste is extremely cheap
and her method is what I've always done minus the portioning.
Brilliant!
Aaaaah I could hug the two of you. This is my favorite dish. I could eat this every day. ☑️
You are by far my favorite teacher. Love yer way to explore my first steps with IP.
Im a big fan.
My husband and I just made this and wow we love it thank you for sharing your amazing recipes 💗💗💗
Nice recipe. One correction. The recipe isn't American. It was created by a Taiwanese master chef who came to the United States in the 1970s and popularized it from there. I'd HIGHLY recommend the fantastic documentary "Searching for General Tso" which is on Netflix. Very moving and also entertaining search that also goes through the history of the dish but also about the growth and expansion of the Chinese community and Chinese cooking. It's brilliant.
Estrafalario Thanks for the clarification! All I knew was that it isn't a typical Chinese dish. Will have to look for the documentary. We don't get as much selection on Netflix as in the US. Love learning about Chinese history.
I was very moved by it. Reminded me of my own parents struggle as immigrants. Also the importance of food. It was produced by Jennifer 8. Lee who wrote The Fortune Cookie Chronicles. Was amazed at how this documentary could be both funny and sharp and moving all at the same time. They traveled to China to the region the real Gen. Tso lived and interviewed people around the world. A real mystery. Looking forward to trying out this dish!!
Yeah that was a good documentary, I enjoyed it to. :)
It was created in America so it is technically American. The chef may have originated in Taiwan but it was created in New York.
its on Canadian Netflix Flo
I have never had General Tso's chicken because I had no idea what it might taste like. I may try this. I love the way you save you freeze tomato paste, being flat it defrosts more quickly.
Thanks for the tomato paste tip. I've run into that delima just about every time I've used tomato paste. Great idea!
Thanks for the interesting technique :) General Tso's chicken was invented in Taiwan, that's why you can't find it in China. But most chefs in the U.S. cook it like the Chinese dish 乾燒明蝦, so any dish that start with 乾燒, either in U.S., China, or Taiwan is going to taste very similar to it.
Love the chemistry between you guys in your videos ....food looks great.
One thing I would suggest is turning the pot around before releasing the pressure. Releasing the steam up into your cabinet doors could delaminate them surprisingly quickly.
Edit: The teaspoon of oil is for pre-cooked fries (fresh or frozen) in an airfryer. If you make your fries from scratch it takes about a tablespoon of oil per pound of potatoes. Which is still an economy of about 30% over deep frying.
That looks so good I will be trying this very soon. Thank you.
Hi! I just got a pressure cooker for Christmas from my wife. My first recipe was based off of your (this) video. It came out amazing. Can’t thank you enough for that tomato paste trick. I got my freezing right now. Subbed!
I like how honest you let him be about the taste test on camera.
The crunch is the deal for me. I'm trying to get the fried food out of my diet so I'll be trying this soon.
This recipe has came in clutch a good number of times, great video
To make ANYTHING in an Airfryer.. Get an EVO sprayer (sprayed micro fine droplets) spray a few squirts(approximately 1/8 Tbls per squirt) to cover. Makes anything crunchy!
Thanks so much for this recipe. I made it for my wife this week, and she absolutely loved it and said it was one of her favourite ever! I was a bit confused about "light" soy sauce, but from what I could gather, that just means "normal" or otherwise un-labelled soy sauce, as opposed to dark soy sauce. When it came to breading the chicken, I found it fastest just to dump ~1/3 of all pieces at a time into a large bowl of panko rather than one by one. I also found the panko didn't stick that well onto the chicken, but I compensated by adding some of the toasted crumbs in the pan back into the final chicken bowl. In any case, it was a big success.
That tomato paste in the freezer hack is genius! Can't believe I never thought of doing that.
Gotta love Flo & Dude
Freezing tomato paste is a brilliant idea! I am guy trying to impress my wife with my cooking skills (which at the moment I don't have:) I love the guy's honesty and the lady's ability to handle it. That is rare on YT. Thank you Flo for taking the time to create this video.
Thank you Flo , looking forward to try your recipe especially cooking in the instant pot,Bee
Thanks, Bee!
So smart to measure everything in to the Pyrex. And great tomato paste tip! Learned some good new things! Thank you!
You two guys are infectious Flo laughs at Dudes silliest comments... I really like you guys...
I rent and after waiting over a year for repairs I bought a convection toaster oven, by Hamilton beach, for like 100 I think this way I can take it if I move, 4 months later they fixed it but the ovens pilot light never stays lit - so glad I bought it, it cooks faster than gas oven that isn't temp regulated - I do recommend it. Thanks for the resipie
I'm super excited to try this recipe out! And I *love* how canadian you guys sound!
I am going to try this... yum! Thank you
Excellent vid!
I just purchased the Instant Pot two weeks ago and every time I search for a recipe you’re usually on top of the hit query and I’ve really enjoyed your videos. With that being said...new subscriber and thank you so much!
👍😎
Thanks, Howie! Welcome to the channel!
Oh my goodness! Looks delicious 😋
Great recipe, thanks for sharing
I’m hooked! You keep it real. Thanks...
Looks yummy. thanks 4 sharing .
Trey grinding your Panko either in a coffee mill spice grinder or blender to create more of a powder of Panko I think you’ll like the results
I live near Seattle and love Safeway General Tso's! Thank you! I cant wait to make my own! I can sub amino acid for soy sauce and might even skip the breading! I will have to subscribe!!
For the tomato paste problem: you can buy tomato paste in a squeeze tube, not unlike toothpaste. You can use what you need and screw the top back on and good to go.
Yes!! So nice to see you Dan!
Ha ha! Let's see how long this lasts.
Great recipe! Thank’s
Love your channel and your recipes are awesome. Thank you for sharing your talents.
I watched "Searching for General Tso" documentary on YT this evening because of this video. Fascinating. If you love history and food and China ...
this is an AWESOME RECIPE!... i gotta try it. i dont deep fry either. Thanks for finding another to way to mimic a fried recipe
So kind! Thanks! Hope you like it!
I just finished eating your General Tso's Chicken excellent honestly the sauce was the max...
Great tomato paste tip! I think it's great that you did not fry the morsels...we are trying to eat better and you have made meal times easy and sooo tasty. When my husband asks me about dinner plans, I just pull out my Instant Pot and tell him we are going with The Flo! Looking forward to trying this one real soon!
LOL!! You seriously made me laugh out loud!!! I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying the videos and that I have helped make dinner a little easier. =)
A ton of people have already said this, but the frozen tomato paste "disks" is a brilliant idea.
Hi Flo - Thanks for the recipe. Even I can do this! Bob
Damn gurl that looked good just got my ip 3 days ago and only did hard boiled eggs which came out perfect. 6 min on 6 min natural rinse under cold water
Incredible videos! You are informative, clear and a natural in front of the camera! Thank you kindly!
+Ribota Sajambre Glad you are enjoying the channel! Thanks!
Oh this looks so good. I'm going to try it this week.
A an American who learned how to use chopsticks as a young child. I find me using them the same as here. Why, they are way easier to clean then what we as Americans would use.
I will have to try this. As always, I enjoyed the video and the interaction between chef (Flo) and video guy, "Dude"...LOL...you make a great team/couple...Thanks!
Thanks, Warren!
Love that you have a "normal" kitchen - makes me feel like I can accomplish this all in my own kitchen :). Love your videos!
Thank you for understanding!!!
The idea to preserve miscellaneous tomato paste is AWESOME! Thanks for that.
I am definitely #teamfriedchicken for my General Tso chicken recipe though!
Thanks for Sharing!
I'm new to your channel and I'm so glad I found you ! I like your easy ways to use the IP and you seem sweet and have a great personality and you show it can be good without it being perfect and I love that a lot .
OH MY OH MY! I did a similar recipe recently!! Yours looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! 👏👏👏
Can't wait to cook this! Thanks
Great! You’ll have to let me know how it turns out!
I loved dude's honesty
Great job, Flo! Nice team work with your husband :)

Nice! Loved the tomato paste idea.
I've been using your tomato paste idea ever since and "face-palm", why didn't I ever think of that!! Duhhh!. Great idea! Thanks!. The General Tsaos chicken looks great. Have to give that a try. Thanks for all your great instant Pot meal ideas.
snowpony001 Oh my goodness! Me too! I buy the larger can now just so I can freeze it!
Yes! No wasting! ;)
Yes, I have been freezing my leftover tomato paste as well. Crazy simple idea.
That looks yummy!!
I just found your Chanel today and I love it!!
Love your recipes I freeze tomato paste and a lot of other things in ice cube trays then to zip lock freezer bag very handy for small amounts for later 😃
Yes 1 tbls of oil for 3 big potatoes wedges up yummy fries in the air fryer.Flo I will try this for Father’s Day my husband loves gen. Tso chicken, way healthier option too.. thank you so much for your great videos. Thanking you both 💖💙
This is great, thank you!! Do you have a print out of the recipe?
I love dudes real attitude. My husband will try anything, and then I now where to improve
+Barbara Gross Yes... I feel the same way!
Brilliant idea about the tomato paste, thanks for sharing.
The General's IS my favorite Chinese dish, but I've never had it home because 'I' don't fry here, either. I don't have the IP but am really tempted. I LOVE THAT YOU GAVE THE IP INSTRUCTIONS as well as the recipe's. I appreciate Dude's critique..he gave reasons! Sorry 'bout the oven! lol. I'm subscribing. : ) Oh, and the flat-frozen paste is BRILLIANT! You should consider selling that idea to a paste company!!!
I definitely will use the tomato paste in wax paper idea. I have some ideas for making this gluten free. Thanks, may try this tonight!
Seattle ROCKS!!!!!!!
Great...cant wait to try it!!!!
+Michele Shine You'll have to let me know how it turns out!
Awesome video just got my instant pot and I’ll definitely try this
+NaturalBeautynStyle Great! Hope you enjoy it!
Love the tomato paste idea!!
i'm gonna use this
Looks great, thanks for the video! I'm wondering if I added vinegar to the sauce, how much would should it be?
That tomato paste idea is awesome!
Great idea for the tomato paste 👏🏽
Good idea
Just goes to show that you can have an electric range that's old as hell and still bang out killer recipes
Looks delicious
I'm late to the party but I am so going to make this. The tomato paste tip is golden. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip on tomato paste
Just an additional info for a great video ty.
1. it takes about 1.5 tbls of oil to make fries in the air fryer.
2. Zuo Zongtang (also romanized as Tso Tsung-t'ang; 10 November 1812 - 5 September 1885), sometimes referred to as General Tso, was a Chinese statesman and military leader of the late Qing dynasty.
Great tutorial
"Not bad...pretty good" - I'm sold!
+Brian Kress Ha! Great!
My favorite Chinese food. I have a different brand but same type pot, gotta try this one
Seen two video's by you guys and I like you already. You seem to have fun together! So refreshing! Your husband says he's a fan of anything fried, he'd fit right in here in the south. Best to your both!
He would! He's always talking about wanting to try chicken fried bacon. LOL
Thanks for the tip on freezing the tomato paste
Easy... Delicious ... love the idea about freezing tomato paste-- how many cans of stale tomato paste have I had to chuck because I only needed 1 TBS? I used XLPressureCooker-- tasted great!
Flo I always enjoy your video's and I can't wait to try this recipe!!! Thank you for sharing your tomato paste trick! I wish I had thought of that a long time ago!!
Thank you so much! I can't even tell you how many cans of tomato paste I have wasted before thinking to do that!
