General Tso's Chicken

Use light or all-purpose soy sauce, not dark soy. Thigh stays juiciest; for breast, add 1/4 tsp baking soda to the marinade and marinate 1 hour. Chop garlic and ginger by knife for the stir fry so they don't burn. Oil should come at least halfway up the chicken; for minimal oil, pan-fry in a slick of oil 3–4 minutes, turning. Leftovers keep 5 days refrigerated but won't stay crispy.
