"Homemade" with every ingredient except the originals? Apples and Oranges!

Worcestershire and Water substitutes SOY SAUCE . Sour vs. salty?

Apple Juice substitutes RICE WINE. Citrus juice vs grain wine?

Rice Wine Vinegar substitute is Balsamic Vinegar. OK substitution here.

Based on your substitution methodology you could have went with A-1 sauce instead of Worcestershire and flour as a thickener.

General Tso's Chicken, while called Chinese food, is actually an American creation. It is a sweet deep fried chicken dish served in "AMERICAN" Chinese restaurants (and popular in the buffet line). Regardless of it's origin, this is a tasty dish that is easy to make at home (so no more need for expensive take out!)

According to that recipe the only things you probably were missing would be soy sauce & ginger. Leaving the ginger out and substitute salty water for soy sauce is better than using Worcestershire.
