Ground chicken is the secret to Shortcut General Tso's Chicken – it allows you to quickly cook the chicken without cutting or frying, while still maintaining great flavor.

Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix the ground chicken with the Shaoxing wine, salt, white pepper, and sesame oil. Set aside to marinate while you prep the other ingredients. (Or if making ahead, cover and refrigerate overnight.)
- Next, make the sauce. To a measuring cup, add the chicken stock, brown sugar, light soy sauce, rice vinegar, and dark soy sauce. Set aside. Set water to boil for steaming the broccoli.
- While that’s happening, add the flour and cornstarch to a shallow dish, stirring with a fork or whisk to combine. Break up the ground chicken into pieces on top of the cornstarch, then use your fingers to break up the ground chicken into nuggets/large chunks and toss them in the cornstarch flour mixture.
- Heat your wok or skillet over high heat. Add the oil and ground chicken in a single layer, and fry until golden. Once a golden crust has formed, use a wok spatula to flip the chicken and let it brown once more undisturbed. Repeat until the chicken is uniformly seared. Remove from the wok, leaving behind any oil.
- Add the broccoli to the steamer and steam for 5-6 minutes until crisp tender.
- With the heat on medium-high, add the red chili peppers and cook for 1 minute. Add the garlic, and cook for another 30 seconds to a minute.
- Stir up your sauce and add it to the pan. Bring to a simmer. Add the chicken, tossing until the chicken is coated and the sauce is caramelized and sticky. There should be very little standing sauce. Serve immediately with the steamed broccoli and steamed rice!
