The film's opening explores theories about General Tso, before moving to China, where few recognize the eponymous dish. The film then traces Tso's real-life history in the Qing Dynasty as well as the history of Chinese immigration to America. Interviewed are a number of notable figures in Chinese food, such as Cecilia Chiang of The Mandarin and a world record-holder for restaurant menus. Also interviewed are Chef Peng Chang-kuei, who invented the dish in Taiwan, and T.T.Wang, who coined the Americanized version.
