Light General Tso's

The entire time hubby was eating this he kept saying.. "This is good.. but the fried stuff you make is better..you should fry it again!" Keep dreaming buddy...this is a yummy low calorie alternative to the full fat original. I think next time I will double the sauce and add steamed broccoli.
