Orange Chicken

Ingredients

  • Chicken breasts (2)
  • Orange juice (1 cup)
  • Soy sauce (1 tablespoon)
  • Sugar (1/2 cup)
  • All-purpose flour (1/2 cup)
  • Cornstarch (1 tablespoon)
  • Egg (1)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • MSG (to taste)
  • Finely chopped garlic (1 teaspoon)
  • Finely chopped ginger (1 teaspoon)
  • Sesame seeds (1 teaspoon)
  • Chili flakes (1 teaspoon)
  • Oil (for deep-frying)

Method

  1. Wash the chicken and cut it into small cubes. Add salt, a little soy sauce, half the garlic, and the egg, then marinate for 30 minutes. Coat the chicken with the flour and 2 teaspoons of the cornstarch. Deep-fry until golden.
  2. For the sauce, heat a little oil in a wok or frying pan. Add the chili flakes, ginger, and remaining garlic. Fry for about a minute, then add the orange juice, remaining soy sauce, sugar, and MSG. Mix the remaining 1 teaspoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water and add it to thicken the sauce. Once thickened, add the fried chicken and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, stir, and serve.
