This recipe is absolutely sensational. However it does not make alot of sauce for rice. I usually double the sauce ingredients. It is very hot. If you like food milder leave out some chilis. I have tried the General Taos chicken posted here on prodigy. My family prefers this recipe. My last attempt to post this recipe failed.
