Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, toss large cubes or slices of your protein or vegetable with plenty of cornstarch to coat completely. The ingredient's natural moisture should be sufficient for the cornstarch to adhere. Quickly saute in vegetable oil over high heat until browned, then reduce heat, add enough orange juice to deglaze and simmer for a minute until the juice has thickened. Add the zest of an orange, a spoonful or two of orange marmalade, a splash of soy sauce, a drizzle of sesame oil and some chili flakes (if you're into the heat), and toss until well-combined. To finish, sprinkle with sliced scallions and sesame seeds and serve with rice. A well-trained 8-year-old could do it.

Best of all, like so many great dishes (lasagna, we're looking at you), Chinese orange anything tastes even better the next day, sans soggy microwaved batter syndrome. That's why it's sitting in the fridge at Food Republic Headquarters as we speak. ...probably shouldn't have said that.
