We went to Panda Express, PF Changs, Pei Wei, and many, many more only to find many places were clean out of General Tso's. We picked a select few, went head to head, and well... you'll just have to watch the video to see if our homemade General Tso's chicken was the true winner.

    Strange request: but make Lindt chocolate truffles but better
  • @G203029
    You should open up a “but better” restaurant and just serve all the dishes but better 😂😂
  • @emartinez__
    Would love a “but easier” series where you make delicious food but with few ingredients or fewer dirty dishes
  • The reason it is so chewy is because chinese restaurants usually freeze the chicken after they deep fry it and then fry it again when you order. I worked in a chinese restaurant for several years.

    Joshua: Takes 20 minutes 💕💕🥰 Me: spend 20 minutes chopping garlic and ginger, drives 4 hours to my nearest asian grocery store to find his fancy wine.
  • "It only takes like 20 minutes to make." Oh awesome. "Now let that chicken marinade for an hour or overnight." Wait what

  • Day 1 of asking Josh to make a series where he shows us his gone wrongs and talks about what can go wrong, especialy for his complicated recipes. Important: full credit to jAyDeN lIu. This is his great idea. Hope everyone will join us, and hope papa will listen.
  • Dude... I've been meaning to make this for quite a while and even though I couldn't get my hands on all the ingredients due to the lockdown here, this is HANDS DOWN the best dish I've had the pleasure of making. I simply can not thank you enough... Amazing content and love your enthusiasm. 👍🏽

    “Only takes 20 minutes” “Let marinate 1hour to overnight” *me* 👁👄👁

    Absolute love your channel for the simple thing of saying measurements, temps, ect..... in both standard and metric! You are a true educator!

    I made this for my husband tonight. Holy buckets!! It was delicious! He raved over it! So incredibly tender! Amazeballs! I wish I could add pictures!

    It’s funny to me that General Tso was real, and will forever be known for his chicken. It’s like if a man who lead and fought in a war became known for putting peanut butter on his waffles one time and nothing else.

    Josh needs to make a kitchen towel with his little smily face on it . That way when he makes a dough , he still has the smily face, but doesn’t need to use plastic .
  • @Velour_Rose
    I like how Josh’s videos are so easy to watch, even if other people are around you, he has humour, passion and excitement, but is realistic and doesn’t put pressure on you at the same time. Awesome work man!

    So I made this myself. This is really good but kinda heavy with the ginger (and I'm a fan of ginger). Maybe it's because I did the marinade overnight? I'd skip the ginger in the marinade and maybe just use half the amount in the sauce. Everything else though, the texture of the breading on the chicken, the sweet-spicy glaze of the sauce, and the tenderness of the chicken are all above the normal Chinese take-out standard. (also, when I made the sauce, I had the foresight to have the dry and wet ingredients at the ready, and it's a good thing too because it comes together in less than a minute before you add the slurry)
