Instructions: How to Cook Orange Chicken And Fried Rice

1. In a bowl, mix together orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger to make the orange sauce. Set aside.
2. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Dip each piece in beaten eggs, then coat with cornstarch.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in batches until golden and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
4. In a separate pan, heat a little oil and sauté cooked rice with diced vegetables (such as carrots, peas, and green onions) until heated through.
5. Return the skillet with the orange sauce to medium heat. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the sauce and stir until thickened.

7. Serve the orange chicken over the fried rice, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Enjoy!
