Chinese Food They Won’t Eat in China

General Tso’s Chicken

A huge percentage of Chinese restaurants in the U.S. offer a dish called General Tso’s chicken. This sweet and spicy fried chicken dish is perhaps the most quintessential of American Chinese dishes. Although there is no recorded connection to him, it’s named after General Tso Tsung-tang, a Qing dynasty general and statesman. And while it can trace some roots to Hunan cooking, the version Americans recognize was invented in 1970s New York. Authentic Chinese? Fuggedaboutit.
