Steps:
- Firstly, pour the 200ml of orange juice into a pan and put it on a low heat.
- Using a cup, pour in the tablespoon of cornflour and the 50ml of orange juice and stir / mix them together until you have a cream texture liquid and make sure there are no lumps.
- Using a whisk, slowly pour in the cornflour and orange mix into the pan with the 200ml of orange juice and slowly steer.
- You will notice after a few minutes, the sauce becomes thicker and starts to bubble. Do not let it over heat! Once the sauce is at a thick texture, turn off the heat and serve onto your dish. If you think your sauce is not thick enough, repeat the cornflour and 50ml of orange juice again remembering to steer and keep the pan on a low heat.

SWEET-AND-SOUR ORANGE SAUCE
I was in the mood for some egg rolls and, when trying to think of something to go with them, I opened the fridge and saw way too many oranges. Not finding an orange sweet-and-sour sauce, I made my own. This is sweet and sour with a bit of spice and a beautiful, yet light, orange taste. Perfect over egg rolls, shrimp, chicken, rice, or even stir-fried veggies.

Steps:
- Start the chicken:
- In a shallow, medium bowl toss the chicken pieces with the soy sauce and wine. Let stand while you make the sauce.
- Make the orange sauce:
- Using a vegetable peeler, remove 4 lengthwise strips of zest from 1 orange-each strip should be about 3/4 inch wide and 3 1/2 to 4 inches long. Arrange the zest in one layer between paper towels and microwave on high in 20-second increments until dry and brittle but not browned, 60 to 80 seconds total. Let the zest cool then finely chop it. If desired, use a Microplane to remove some of the remaining zest from the orange and reserve it for garnish. (If desired, zest the second orange for additional garnish.)
- Squeeze enough juice from both oranges to measure 1/2 cup. In a small bowl, whisk together the juice and 2 teaspoons cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved.
- In a 10-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until hot but not smoking. Add the garlic, ginger, crushed red pepper, and dried orange zest and stir-fry until golden, about 30 seconds. Add the soy sauce, wine, vinegar, and sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves, about 5 seconds. Stir the orange juice-cornstarch mixture then add it to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a boil, stirring, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 1 minute. Remove the skillet from the heat and set it aside while you fry the chicken.
- Fry the chicken:
- Line a large rimmed baking sheet with paper towels.
- In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil until a deep-fry thermometer registers 365°F. Meanwhile, coat half of the chicken, a couple pieces at a time, in cornstarch, making sure they are well coated and gently knocking off any excess, then transfer to a plate. Carefully add all the coated chicken to the hot oil, spacing the pieces apart from each other. Fry the chicken, turning it once or twice, until deep golden, about 5 minutes. While frying, adjust the heat as necessary to keep the oil at 365°F. Using a metal spider or a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken as done to the paper-towel-lined baking sheet. Continue to coat and fry the remaining chicken in the same manner, returning the oil to 365°F between batches.
- Once the chicken is fried, place the skillet of reserved orange sauce over moderately low heat and bring it to a simmer, stirring and thinning the sauce with a little water if necessary. Add the chicken, and stir until thoroughly coated in sauce.
- To serve:
- Transfer the chicken to a serving dish and garnish with the scallions, and, if desired, the red chile slices and the freshly grated orange zest. Serve immediately with rice.
Tips:
- Choose the right oranges: Use navel oranges for a sweeter sauce and Valencia oranges for a tarter sauce.
- Zest the oranges before juicing them: This will give the sauce a more intense orange flavor.
- Don't boil the sauce: Bring it to a simmer and then remove it from the heat. Boiling will make the sauce bitter.
- Taste the sauce as you go: Adjust the sweetness, sourness, and spiciness to your liking.
- Serve the sauce warm or at room temperature: It can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for later use.
