I love Chinese take out, but sometimes it’s hard to find a great place (especially since we moved from NYC to Atlanta), and after eating all that MSG I get a massive headache. However, I can never seem to get my favorite recipes replicated just right….until now. After seeing a recipe for some General Tso’s Chicken, I thought, ‘Why can’t I make this with tofu?’ The meat is really just he vehicle for the sauce, right?

It has 2 of my favorite things, eggplant and goat cheese, so I knew I would love it (and my husband is a fan too, so we were good to go). I know some people aren't big fans of goat cheese, so I think subbing with feta or mozzarella would be great.
