General Tso's chicken, sauce and rice on the side. Got the recipe when I was conscripted in the general's army.
I put the ragu on chill until tomorrow as suggested by Kenji.
Tonight is fish night - sous vide wild salmon, spuds, courgette and tomato.

Do you feel like telling us a bit more? Both about the recipe (including the sauce!) and the story behind this when you were in the army?General Tso's chicken, sauce and rice on the side. Got the recipe when I was conscripted in the general's army.
It's so fragile when it comes out of the waterbath that I don't wan't to risk breaking it apart. But it did go straight to the plate so temp was ok.Did you sear the salmon afterward? The problem I have with SV fish that’s not seared or something is that it’s only lukewarm by the time you’re eating it. I need that brief hit at a higher temp to ensure that it’s still hot in the mouth. Maybe I just need to work on my plating speed, though.
I get a quick sear on mine. Here's one I seared with some Soy Vay sauce.It's so fragile when it comes out of the waterbath that I don't wan't to risk breaking it apart. But it did go straight to the plate so temp was ok.

Go crazy with the orange zest too. After helping repel the forces of Empress Duck, General Tso said he was going to team up with Burger King to kill Americans, with diabetes.Do you feel like telling us a bit more?
