Orange Chicken 
Recipe source: Rasa Malaysia
Serves 2

• 8 oz boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 2 teaspoons cooking oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Orange Sauce

Frying Batter:

• 1 egg 
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
• 2 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 cup water, ice cold
• 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil
• Dash of salt

Orange Sauce:

• 1/4 cup orange juice
• 1/2 teaspoon orange zest
• 1 tablespoon chilli sauce
• 3 tablespoons chicken broth, or water
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 5 teaspoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar, red wine or Chinese white vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry, optional
• 1 teaspoon corn starch

1. In a bowl, mix in all the Orange Sauce ingredients. Set aside. Make the Frying Batter. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and mix in the rest of the Frying Batter ingredients until batter is smooth. Drop in the chicken cubes, mix well, and set aside.
2. Heat up a wok with deep-frying oil. Gently drop in the battered chicken cubes, one by one, making sure it is spread out to prevent sticking and over crowding the wok. Deep-fry until color changes to golden brown and completely cooked. Dish out and drain on paper towels.
3. Heat up wok over medium-high heat with 2 teaspoons of cooking oil. Stir-fry the garlic until fragrant. Gently pour in the Orange Sauce mixture, stir, and bring it to a light simmer. You may adjust additional seasoning to taste, ie. water (if sauce is too thick, cornstarch solution to thicken sauce), salt, sugar, chili sauce, etc. Toss in the deep-fried chicken, stir well until sauces all absorbed and lightly thickened up. Dish out and ready to serve with hot steamed white rice. Garnish with chopped scallions and sesame。
