{soups-salads-and-salad-dressings} Winning Recipe General Tso's Stew (Diabetic Exchanges provided)

 

My daughter who grew up eating not much more than peanut butter and Nutella sandwiches, hamburgers, chicken strips and Mac and cheese dearly LOVES General Tso’s Chicken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Of course, she’ll be 49 in April.

 

General Tso’s Stew

As per the reviewers, there wasn’t enough liquid, so you might add some chicken stock or tomato juice if you’d like to serve this over rice or noodles.  They also recommended about 1 tsp. sesame oil.  This is an ingredient that more is NOT better!

I love Asian food and wanted a chili-like soup with the distinctive flavors of General Tso’s chicken. The slow cooker makes this super easy, and you can use any meat you like. It’s a great with turkey, ground meats or leftover pork. —Lori McLain, Denton, Texas
