Chinese: General Tso's Chicken Sauce with Basmati Rice

Ever wondered how Chinese food is made? Well if you're a diehard Chinese food lover like me you would have at least thought about it once.  I decided to give Chinese cooking a go after I got tired of being ripped off doing takeaways.  My favourite Chinese meal has to be chicken cashew nut followed by Emperor Tso's sauce which is soooo easy to cook that it's outrageous. Oh I forgot, I like sweet and sour sauces as well. Let's get cooking shall we?

3/4 Cup chicken broth

2 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons sugar

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

2 medium onions, chopped

2 medium garlic cloves, minced
