Chop Chop arrives at Urban Deli with the question, “Who or what is General Tso?” Well, the who is General Tso Tsung-tang, a Qing Dynasty general from Hunan (China). But it is the what associated with his name that drew our attention and spurred our culinary creativity.
General Tso is an Asian chicken dish, a bit sweet and a bit spicy. Of course, we’re not doing General Tso’s chicken in the usual way. We’re doing our take on it, and making it a sandwich for Chop Chop 2016! This is our Chop Chop menu this year:
$1 from each Chop Chop dish is donated to the Lunch Connection
tso’s is prounounced ‘so’ (the ‘t’ is silent)
boneless breaded deep-fried chicken pieces tossed in a sweet, slightly spicy sauce. Served on warm grilled soft bread, topped with sesame seeds, fresh cucumber slices, shaved carrot, green onion
served w/ a ramakin side of housemade slaw
(green apple, purple and green cabbage, onion, carrots, fresh lime, chilis)
housemade mini chocolate Whoopie Pie
General Tso Chicken…an image resembling what we’re putting together, and before it is put into the bread for a sandwich. Yum!
Day One of Chop Chop Week is under our belts and we loved it. It’s great seeing people in the Uptown tasting all the great fare the chefs have created. Where do you start? If you weren’t by the Deli today, you have a week to come in and try what our team has put together – it’s yummy to say the least!
By the way, each meal purchased means a donation to Lunch Connection. Here’s our Chop Chop menu for this year:
Start with our house made fall flavoured butternut squash, carrot & sweet potato soup with ginger, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg and cream
Move on to a deliciously grilled euro-wrap sandwich with a must-try bread: light and delicious! Grilled chicken breast with a balsamic glaze drizzle, melted Brie, chutney, garlic aioli, crisp bacon, greens
