• Orange (but really kinda burgundy) chicken with white rice

  • okmosa on January 23, 2022

    I’d never made orange chicken at home before, but it is good in a sweet-and-sour way. I was hoping for more sauce thank this made, to pour over the rice too, and I only used 1 1/2 pounds of chicken. I was shocked at how much cornstarch was needed on the chicken, but I used it all, with less chicken than called for. The chicken should be sautéed in batches to avoid steaming and to get it crispier. And, finally, the sauce was a little bland, although I didn’t use the sriracha or red pepper flakes. Still, it wasn’t very sharp, flavorful, or orange-y. And the sauce didn’t thicken much despite all of the cornstarch. Making orange chicken at home is a nice diversion, but I’ll look at other recipes and use dark instead of white meat chicken next time.

    I haven’t met a homemade cornbread I dislike.

    I’ve made this dressing a couple of times and it is a winner. It halves well. I had anchovy fillets in oil rather than paste so put 1 in and blended it with the rest of the ingredients.
