When I make General Tsao's chicken, I always double or tripled the sauce recipe, to ensure we have a generous amount of sauce.
Last night I used the leftover to grill pork chops. Nice loin chops cut from a whole loin roast. Grill until almost done and then brush with the General Tsao's sauce and finish cooking, Very tasty.

2T vegetable oil
