Detailed Recipe for Orange Chicken

Ingredients:

 500 grams of boneless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

 60 grams of cornstarch

 1 egg

 Salt to taste

 Sugar to taste

 15 grams of Shaoxing wine (or cooking wine)

 15 grams of white vinegar

 200 ml of orange juice

 100 ml of water

 30 grams of soy sauce

 30 grams of tomato sauce

 15 grams of cornstarch

Instructions:

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

2. In a bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and egg until well combined. Add the marinated chicken to the egg mixture and coat evenly.

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.

5. Dissolve the cornstarch in a small amount of water and add it to the sauce. Stir until thickened.

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.
