Ingredients
- 1 lb/450g chicken breasts or thighsboneless, skinless
- 1/2tsp Coarse Salt
- 1/2tsp white pepper
- 1large egg
- 1/2cup cornstarch
- 2tbsp soy sauce
- 1tbsp rice vinegar
- 2tbsp sugarmore if your oranges are sour
- 1/8tsp chili flakes
- 1cup orange juice
- 2tsp garlicgrated
- 1tsp gingergrated
- 1tbsp orange zest
Instructions
- Cut chicken into one inch pieces. Add egg and salt to a bowl and beat well. Add chicken, white pepper and mix. Add cornstarch little bit at a time and mix well. Set aside.
- Zest 2 oranges to yield 1 tbsp. Juice 3 oranges to get 1 cup of juice. Pour juice into a pan. Add soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, chili flakes, ginger and garlic.
- Heat up oil to fry chicken. Add chicken pieces one at a time and fry for 3 minutes until golden. Drain and set aside. Use a splatter screen so oil doesn’t splatter all over. A deep fryer is best for frying this chicken.
- While chicken is frying, turn on pan with juice ingredients. Bring to a boil. Taste and add more soy sauce or sugar if you wish. Add zest and boil for a minute or two until reduced enough to coat chicken pieces. Don’t reduce too much or there will not be enough sauce to coat chicken.
- Add drained chicken to sauce and mix. Serve hot over white rice.
