Yum!  I've been meaning to pick up or make tempura batter and try this.  I
did think of that IRC conversation recently though -- I had authentic
General Tso's chicken again,  finally.  Tbh,  even though it hit the
comfort food spot as perfectly as expected,  I now know I prefer the
cauliflower version using the vodka-cornstarch breading.  One day,  I will
write it up for this newsgroup,  and build out my brand-new but sparse
AnyMeal database
