EASY ORANGE BASTING SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel all oranges. Chop enough of the rind (peelings)to equal 1/2 cup. Discard remaining peelings.
• Insert your 1/2 cup of orange rind into your food processor.
• Slice the orange into quarters and place in food processor with the rind.
• Peel and wash your garlic cloves, then place in food processor. You can save time by purchasing peeled and washed garlic cloves pre-packaged in your produce section.
• DO NOT use garlic soaked in oil which is sold in a jar in the spices section of your grocery store. The oil is just another fat product.
• Add all other ingredients to food processor, then puree for about 1 minute until you get a marmalade-like texture.
• This recipe makes about 24 oz of sauce, which is enough to baste about 12 to 15 pieces of chicken.

• Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Toss dried beef in cornstarch to coat. Fry in the hot oil in small batches until crispy and golden brown; set aside. Drain all of the oil from the wok except about 1 tablespoon.
• Add orange zest, ginger and garlic to the remaining oil, and cook briefly until fragrant. Add the soy sauce mixture to the wok, bring to a boil, and cook until thick and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Add beef, and heat through, stirring to coat. Serve immediately over steamed rice, and garnish with broccoli.
