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.

Steps:
- For the chicken: In a large bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and egg whites with a fork until almost frothy, about 1 minute. Add the chicken to the mixture and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
- For the sauce: Meanwhile, put the orange juice, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, sesame oil, salt, crushed red pepper, garlic and ginger in a small nonstick skillet and whisk. Heat until bubbling and starting to thicken, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cornstarch slurry to the sauce. Mix in and thicken for 1 minute.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F. Carefully drop the chicken into the oil and move it around, flipping gently, until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Let the pieces drain on a plate lined with paper towels for 2 to 3 minutes. Then drop them back into the oil for 1 minute to really solidify the coating.
- Toss the chicken in the sauce and serve.

ORANGE CHICKEN
This dish is so popular, we couldn't avoid making it. It continues to top the charts of every Chinese takeout menu. Can you guess what it is? Orange chicken. We love the crunchy exterior covered in a sweet orange glaze. We use dark-meat chicken that stays super juicy. And our sauce is made with fresh orange juice and zest plus orange marmalade for an extra punch of flavor.
