All three dishes are pretty similar: chicken is fried and coated in a sauce, but all the difference comes in sauce with adding or subtracting just one ingredient. In this dish below, the sauce is mainly based on the flavor of orange. General Tso's chicken is chile based, i.e., it is sweet but with a little more heat from chiles and served with broccoli and carrots. In sesame chicken, the sauce contains sesame oil which gives the dish a unique nutty aroma.
