Orange Chicken Stir-Fry

Here is a recipe for orange chicken! Now, if you are thinking Panda Express Copycat recipe then don't get too exited because this does not taste anything like that! It is good though!

To make the sauce you will need:

• 1/2 cup ORANGE JUICE
• 2 Tbs SOY SAUCE
• 2 Tbs RICE VINEGAR
• 1 Tbs OYSTER SAUCE
• 1 Tbs ORANGE ZEST
• 2 large cloves GARLIC
• Optional: HONEY, to taste

For the stir-fry you will need:

• 1 lb. CHICKEN, cubed
• 3 Tbs CORN STARCH
• SALT
• PEPPER
• 4 cups VEGETABLES (whatever you like, broccoli, carrots, green peppers, mushrooms, snap peas, been sprouts, etc.)
• OLIVE OIL
• 1/2 cup YELLOW ONION, chopped
• RICE

Start off by blending all of the ingredients in the sauce together in a food processor for about 10 seconds. Add honey as you see necessary to make the sauce taste yummy. Once you are satisfied with the sauce, pour it into a skillet and heat it on medium-high for 5 minutes. Then transfer the sauce to a bowl and set aside. Wipe the skillet clean.

If you are using fresh vegetables such as broccoli or carrots, steam them for a few minutes to get the vegetable almost cooked. Also, start heating up a pot of boiling water to cook the rice. 

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and then coat it in the corn starch. Heat about 1 Tbs of olive oil in the skillet on medium-high. Then, cook the chicken and onion in the skillet until the chicken has cooked through. Once the water is boiling add the rice to start cooking. 

Add the vegetables into the skillet and stir-fry them together. Add the the sauce to the stir-fry a few tablespoons at a time to allow the sauce to cook down a little bit as it is added. Once all of the sauce is added and everything is cooked through, serve the stir-fry over rice and eat up!
