Equipment

  • A medium bowl or storage Jar with an airtight lid
  •  A whisk or fork
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce I like to use Shoyu, a traditionally fermented soy sauce
  • ¼ cup White Vinegar
  • ½ cup fresh Orange juice from about 2 medium oranges
  • 2-3 TBSP Orange zest from about 2 oranges
  • 3 TBSP Cane Sugar
  • 2 TBSP Molasses
  • 2 pinches Red Pepper Flakes
  • 3 tsp Freshly Grated Ginger
  • 1 TBSP Freshly Minced Garlic
  • ⅛ tsp fine Black Pepper
  • 3 TBSP Cornstarch or Arrowroot Powder

Instructions

  • Measure all ingredients into your storage container and mix well with a whisk or fork.
  • Secure your airtight lid and store in the fridge for up to 3-5 days.
  • If you don’t want to make a fresh batch every time you make orange chicken, you can make multiple batches and store some in the freezer for later.
  • To use, add sauce to 2 pounds of chicken that has been fully cooked. Add the sauce over the chicken and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes or until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly. Serve over rice and your choice of vegetable.
