CHINESE SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Mix the potato starch with 1 tablespoon of water (or a little more, as needed) to make a slurry.
• Add all of the ingredients to a saucepan and mix evenly before you start cooking.
• You must continuously stir the sauce to prevent the sauce from getting lumpy.
• Bring the sauce to a boil and turn the heat to the lowest temperature and simmer until the sauce texture has turned thick and sticky. Then it's ready.
• You can stir fry some pork or chicken with vegetables and pour the sauce in.
• If you have any extra sauce, you can keep it in a dry and clean container after it is cooled down and store it in the fridge. Usually, this sauce should last 7 to 10 days in the fridge.

ASIAN ORANGE SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Put all ingredients into a non stick frying pan and boil for a few minutes.
• Whisk until the sauce reduces enough to begin thickening.
• Mix the cornstarch and water together and pour half of it into the boiling sauce, whisking until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.(a syrup consistency works well).
• Use the remaining cornstarch as necessary.
• Remove from heat and cool to desired temperature.
• Store in the fridge covered for up to a week. If it gets too thick warm it a bit and whisk in a little water.

ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put the rice in a saucepan with 2 cups water. Season with salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and lower the heat to maintain a bare simmer. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove from the heat allow to rest covered.
• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and 2 tablespoons cornstarch. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the batter and toss to evenly coat.
• Combine the garlic, brown sugar, marmalade, sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger, orange juice, orange zest, vinegar, water, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon cornstarch and the scallion whites in a large bowl. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add the peanut oil. Using tongs, add the chicken in an even layer and brown 4 minutes per side, turning once, until cooked through. Don't crowd the pan, so work in batches if need be. Also, don't move it around-let it brown to get a nice crust. Remove the chicken with tongs to a plate and reserve.
• Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat Pour the sauce mixture into the pan and cook until it starts to thicken, about 2 minutes, then add the chicken to the pan. Cook until sauce is reduced to a glaze that coats the chicken, about 4 minutes.
• Place a scoop of rice in individual serving bowls, then top with the orange chicken. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds and sliced scallion greens.

ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the sauce: Add the oyster sauce, sugar, orange juice, vinegar-cornstarch slurry, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, paprika and food coloring into a 1-quart saucepan, bring the heat up to medium. Whisk gently as it comes to a simmer. Allow to simmer, keep whisking for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and reserve.
• For the broccoli: Place the broccoli florets in a microwave-safe bowl with 1/4 cup water. Season with kosher salt and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Hold for assembly.
• For the chicken: Heat the oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven to 375 degrees F using a deep-fry thermometer. Rinse the chicken in cold water and pat dry. Sprinkle 1 cup tempura flour over the chicken cubes and toss to lightly dredge, shake off the excess. Mix the remaining 1 1/2 cups of tempura flour with 1 cup cold water to make a thin batter, it should look like pancake batter. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels or a rack.
• To assemble: Heat a large skillet to high and add the vegetable oil. When you see the first wisps of white smoke, stir in the garlic, ginger and fried chicken pieces and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add the scallions, onion and Orange Chicken Sauce and allow to coat and simmer. Cook, folding all the ingredients until they are well coated, about 2 minutes. Serve over fried rice or steamed rice, with the steamed broccoli.
• In a large skillet, heat the oil until a wisp of white smoke appears. Pour in the eggs and add the rice immediately. Using a wide silicone spatula, work the rice into the egg in circular motions, making sure not to break the grains. After about 30 seconds, the egg will start to coagulate and surround the rice, the rice will start to dry. Keep scraping the pan and folding the rice back into the middle.
• Add the soy sauce, sugar and chicken bouillon. Continue to fold for about a minute. Don't be afraid to scrape up the rice stuck to the bottom of the pan. Cook until the rice absorbs the liquid and egg but is still fluffy. Fold in the scallions and white pepper and cook for an additional minute. Serve immediately.

ASIAN ORANGE JUICE

Steps:

• Blend all ingredients with ice for 1 minute on high.

ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Firstly, pour the 200ml of orange juice into a pan and put it on a low heat.
• Using a cup, pour in the tablespoon of cornflour and the 50ml of orange juice and stir / mix them together until you have a cream texture liquid and make sure there are no lumps.
• Using a whisk, slowly pour in the cornflour and orange mix into the pan with the 200ml of orange juice and slowly steer.
• You will notice after a few minutes, the sauce becomes thicker and starts to bubble. Do not let it over heat! Once the sauce is at a thick texture, turn off the heat and serve onto your dish. If you think your sauce is not thick enough, repeat the cornflour and 50ml of orange juice again remembering to steer and keep the pan on a low heat.

ASIAN ORANGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan; stir well. Cook over medium heat 6 minutes or until thoroughly heated.

ASIAN ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pour 1 1/2 cups water, orange juice, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and soy sauce into a saucepan and set over medium-high heat. Stir in the orange zest, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, chopped onion, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and cool 10 to 15 minutes.
• Place the chicken pieces into a reseal able plastic bag. When contents of saucepan have cooled, pour 1 cup of sauce into bag. Reserve the remaining sauce. Seal the bag, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
• In another reseal able plastic bag, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the marinated chicken pieces, seal the bag, and shake to coat.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken into the skillet, and brown on both sides. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels, and cover with aluminum foil.
• Wipe out the skillet, and add the sauce. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Mix together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water; stir into the sauce. Reduce heat to medium low; add the chicken pieces, and simmer, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Serve with steamed jasmine rice.
• * I usually skip the marinating part and just make the sauce. I dip the chicken pieces in a batter of 4 egg whites, Whip egg whites in a medium bowl until foamy. Stir in 2/3cup of mochiko until it has a pasty consistency. Dip the pieces in the batter and deep fry. This batter gives it a light fluffy texture, the way you get them in the restaurants. You can find Mochiko in the Asian aisle of most grocery stores. Flour will not produce the same kind of texture; it really is worth finding the mochiko if you plan on making it this way.

CHINESE ORANGE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Start the chicken:
• In a shallow, medium bowl toss the chicken pieces with the soy sauce and wine. Let stand while you make the sauce.
• Make the orange sauce:
• Using a vegetable peeler, remove 4 lengthwise strips of zest from 1 orange-each strip should be about 3/4 inch wide and 3 1/2 to 4 inches long. Arrange the zest in one layer between paper towels and microwave on high in 20-second increments until dry and brittle but not browned, 60 to 80 seconds total. Let the zest cool then finely chop it. If desired, use a Microplane to remove some of the remaining zest from the orange and reserve it for garnish. (If desired, zest the second orange for additional garnish.)
• Squeeze enough juice from both oranges to measure 1/2 cup. In a small bowl, whisk together the juice and 2 teaspoons cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved.
• In a 10-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add the garlic, ginger, crushed red pepper, and dried orange zest and stir-fry until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce, wine, vinegar, and sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves, about 5 seconds. Stir the orange juice-cornstarch mixture then add it to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside while you fry the chicken.
• Fry the chicken:
• Line a large rimmed baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365°F. Meanwhile, coat half of the chicken, a couple pieces at a time, in cornstarch, making sure they are well coated and gently knocking off any excess, then transfer to a plate. Carefully add all the coated chicken to the hot oil, spacing the pieces apart from each other. Fry the chicken, turning it once or twice, until deep golden, about 5 minutes. While frying, adjust the heat as necessary to keep the oil at 365°F. Using a metal spider or a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken as done to the paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Continue to coat and fry the remaining chicken in the same manner, returning the oil to 365°F between batches.
• Once the chicken is fried, place the skillet of reserved orange sauce over moderately low heat and bring it to a simmer, stirring and thinning the sauce with a little water if necessary. Add the chicken, and stir until thoroughly coated in sauce.
• To serve:
• Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and garnish with the scallions, and, if desired, the red chile slices and the freshly grated orange zest. Serve immediately with rice.
