instructions:
chicken-
Heat sauce over medium heat until sugars are dissolved. Place chicken into a slightly greased baking dish and cover with sauce. Bake at 325 degrees 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to evenly coat chicken.

rice-
Heat wok over high heat. Pour in 1 Tbsp of oil (not included) and then stir in carrots and peas. Cook about 30 seconds. Crack egg and stir quickly to scramble with the vegetables. Stir in cooked rice (you may want to warm it first). Shake in soy sauce (to your liking) and toss to coat. Drizzle with sesame oil (to your liking) and toss again.

recipes:
General Tso's Tiny Spicy Chicken (I have no idea why it is called this.)
1 1/2 - 2 lbs chicken breast cut into 1" pieces
2 eggs, beaten
garlic salt
1/2 c cornstarch

Sprinkle cubed chicken with garlic salt, cover and chill 1 hour in the refrigerator. Mix cornstarch with eggs. Dip cold chicken cubes into the egg/cornstarch mixture. Fry chicken in hot oil until brown, but don't "cook" it (it will bake in the oven and will be thoroughly cooked.)

Preheat over to 325 degrees.

sauce-
1 Tbsp Samball (chili paste)
3/4 c white sugar
2/3 c ketchup
dash of salt
1 1/2 tsp soy sauce
2/3 c chicken broth
3 T brown sugar
2/3 c white vinegar

Combine sauce ingredients over medium heat until sugars are dissolved. Place chicken in a lightly greased baking dish and cover with sauce. Bake at 325 degrees 45-60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to coat chicken.

Fried Rice Restaurant Style
1-2 cups cooked rice
1/3 c chopped carrots
1/4 c green peas
1 T vegetable oil
1 egg
soy sauce to taste
sesame oil to taste

In small saucepan boil carrots in water about 3-5 minutes. Drop peas in boiling water, and drain. Heat wok over high heat, then stir in carrots and peas; cook 30 seconds. Crack in egg and stir quickly to scramble with vegetables. Stir in cooked rice. Shake in soy sauce and sesame to your liking and toss to coat.
