So tonight I tried a recipe for General Tso's Chicken from The Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook. We followed the recipe exactly, except using tofu instead of chicken. The recipe was really easy, and calls for 6-10 dried hot chilis - cut in half with most of the seeds removed. We use dried hot chilis a lot and have a package of them in the cupboard, and we've never, ever had a dish turn out too hot when using them. Until tonight. The flavor was excellent, but it was almost too spicy to eat. Steve was dripping sweat by the time we were done! Next time we'll have to use a lot fewer chilis (maybe 1 or 2 only).
