Today I am making homemade General Tso's Chicken my way. This is a recipe I came up with that reminds me of take-out style General Tso's chicken. You can substitute the gochujang with a quarter teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes or even Sambal chili paste.

1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp white pepper
1 large egg
3/4 cup (177 ml) cold water (including 1 Tbsp Shaoxing cooking wine)
2 scallions chopped
