Earl Cooks @Ease - General Tso's Chicken

I don't often buy frozen meals anymore. They rarely live up to my expectations or their hype. But in the store the other day, one caught my eye from a company called @ease. Their General Tso's Chicken looked good on the package, and it was on sale, so I thought I would give it a try.

I first remember tasting General Tso's in a mall food court near me. It was spicy and sweet and I liked it. Later while working at Wal-Mart, I would buy it from their hot deli and top a $1 salad from McDonald's. My own Asian Chicken Salad done cheaply, if not real well.

The problem with frozen foods is always the crispy-ness. The veggies, the meat, everything gets soggy. Knowing that, I bought it anyway. I won't be buying it again. Even though it only cooked a few minutes, it was soggy.

You don't do anything but add it to a large skillet or wok, stirring occasionally and add the sauce at the end.

The package says it's 2 servings, but they are not very big, so even though it has veggies and rice you may want to augment it with something. The chicken was sparse and soggy.

If you didn't get my drift, I am not recommending this product. I am glad it was on sale. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't good, which to me means it wasn't General Tso's!
