Instructions:
1. Marinate the chicken in salt, Shaoxing wine, and sugar for 15 minutes.

3. Heat oil in a wok or deep fryer to 180°C (350°F). Fry the chicken in batches until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
4. In the same wok, leave a little oil and add the tomato sauce, soy sauce, water, white vinegar, and orange juice. Bring to a boil.

6. Add the fried chicken back to the wok and toss to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
Tips:
Make sure to marinate the chicken well for maximum flavor.
Do not overcook the chicken when frying, or it will become dry and tough.
Adjust the sweetness and sourness of the orange sauce to your liking.
Additional suggestions:
Add other vegetables to the dish, such as onions, bell peppers, or broccoli.
Incorporate spices like ginger, garlic, and chili powder into the orange sauce for extra flavor.
For a more authentic taste, use freshly squeezed orange juice.
