Go girl, this is HOT. If it is too hot, just cut down on ingredients that make a dish more spicy (like onions, green onions, chilies or chili paste). Ingredients:
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped |
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger root |
1 teaspoon chile paste |
1/2 cup orange juice |
1 tablespoon sherry (optional) |
2 tablespoons soy sauce |
2 teaspoons cider vinegar |
1 teaspoon white sugar |
2 teaspoons cornstarch |
2 tablespoons cold water |
2 tablespoons peanut oil, divided |
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips |
6 green onions, chopped into 1 inch pieces |
2 green bell peppers, cut into 1 inch pieces |
1 small onion, diced |
1 tablespoon grated orange zest |
1/3 cup finely chopped peanuts |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl combine the garlic, ginger and chile paste. Mix together and set aside. In a second bowl mix together the orange juice, sherry, soy sauce and vinegar and sugar. In a third bowl combine the cornstarch with the water and mix until dissolved.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Saute chicken for about 3 minutes, until browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
3. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in skillet and saute green onion, bell pepper and onion for about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic/ginger mixture and saute for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add chicken and orange juice mixture and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Finally, stir in orange zest and cornstarch mixture. Heat through, stirring slowly, until sauce is clear and thick. Sprinkle with peanuts and serve.
