This Video Shows You How to Make Your Favorite Chinese Takeout Dishes

The Brothers Green are at it again, this time making Chinese Takeout recipes at home, and showing you how to do it yourself.

The idea of the video is showing home chefs how to make Chinese takeout, so that if they don’t feel like going out or if they’re somewhere without Chinese takeout, they can still have the foods they love.

In case you don’t want to watch a 20 minute video, listed below is the Brothers’ recipe for General Tso’s Chicken, which goes by many names, including Governor’s Chicken, General Gao’s Chicken, and General Cho’s Chicken, among others.
