  • 1 lb orange chicken
  • 1 medium soy sauce
  • 1 lb garlic
  • a pinch fresh ginger
  • 4 oz scallions
  • 1/4 cup toasted sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine
  • to taste good finishing oil
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the orange chicken dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the orange chicken, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
