Everyone loves Chinese food, I know I do! But oh the calories and sodium! Leaves me feeling stuffed and bloated! Well, i believe I've found a pretty awesome alternative! May I present to you ground orange chicken!
Note: go ahead and start cooking your choice of rice or quinoa. It will take longer than the chicken does!
Ingredients:
1 lb ground chicken
1 tsp minced ginger (or more if you like the flavor)
2 tsp minced garlic (or more for flavor)
1/4 tsp hot pepper flakes (optional)
For sauce:
2 tbsp rice wine or rice vinegar
4 tbsp water
1 tsp sesame oil
8 tbsp soy sauce
6 tbsp white sugar
3 tbsp brown sugar
5 tbsp white wine vinegar
Zest of 1/2 orange
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp cornstarch
(Mix above 2 together and set aside)
Directions:
1. Mix all sauce ingredients together and set aside in bowl. Mix water and cornstarch together in a smaller bowl and set aside
2. Put a little oil in pan and brown chicken, breaking up into crumbles.
3. When chicken. Is done, mix in ginger and garlic and stir until thoroughly mixed. Add red pepper and stir until mixed.
4. Pour sauce mixture over chicken and bring to a big boil. Let boil until all chicken is covered with sauce (1-2 minutes).
5. Stir in cornstarch mixture. This will make the sauce thicken.
Serve over your choice of rice or quinoa! Add broccoli, green beans or other Asian inspired stir fry!
Enjoy!!!!
