<< review queue entry 59325 >> https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/左宗棠雞 ------------------------------------------------------- Editor: I'm not comfortable with labelling it an American dish. It seems it may have originated in Taiwan: "Peng later became head chef at the Pengyuan restaurant in Taipei, which is now part of a chain of around six restaurants. (We went to a newer restaurant on Zhongxiao East Road, near the Tango Hotel.) In the 1970s, Peng moved to New York to open his own restaurant where he counted notables such as Henry Kissinger as devotees. His most famous dish, his own creation with many imitators, is General Tso’s chicken." And it certainly seems to be a popular dish in Taiwan: 台南擔仔麵、左宗棠雞和北京烤鴨並列在西式自助餐廳中 "Since then, Tainan-style pork noodles, spicy Hunan chicken and Peking roast duck have formed a chorus line on Taiwan's restaurant buffets." |
