Update 8/13/11 - made this again last night but the kids had eaten all of the oranges I had bought so I just used orange juice (from concentrate even) I used 1 cup orange juice and 1 cup water. Still super tasty, and even easier to make.
Ingredients
- precooked chicken, defrosted (I used only about a pound, but could have used more.)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1/3 cup rice vinegar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon finely minced ginger (I actually used a jarred ginger/garlic and used 1 teaspoon of it then 1/2 teaspoon garlic.)
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons green onion
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 cups rice
Directions
In a medium saucepan combine water, fresh orange juice, rice vinegar, soy sauce, orange zest and whisk over medium heat for a few minutes. Then stir in brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and green onion and let it come to a boil. Combine cornstarch with water and let it dissolve and add it to the sauce until thickened. Remove about 1/2 of the sauce to a bowl (I used my gravy boat.) Add the chicken to the remaining sauce. Reduce heat to low and simmer while preparing rice. (I just made min in a rice cooker. 3 cups lets me fill it up to line 4.) Serve the chicken mix over rice with extra sauce for the rice.
