Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons canola, vegetable or other high-temperature cooking oil
1 cup white rice
1 small bunch scallions, thinly sliced on an angle
6 chicken cutlets or chicken thighs or 6 thin pork loin chops
1 large bundle broccolini or 1 head broccoli
Salt
1 1/2 inches fresh gingerroot, peeled and finely chopped or grated
2 to 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3 tablespoons tamari (aged soy sauce)
1/3 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup roasted unsalted cashews

Steps:

  • In a sauce pot, heat 1 1/2 cups of the stock and 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil. Bring to a boil and stir in the rice. Lower the heat and bring to a bubble, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, about 18 minutes. Fluff with a fork and add the scallions.

Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of oil to the pan, stir in the ginger and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tamari, the marmalade, and the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken stock. Slide the chicken, broccolini, and cashews into the pan and stir to combine with the sauce. Simmer for another 1 to 2 minutes.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Stir-Fry     Beef

Time 4h50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 (4 ounce) boneless beef sirloin steaks
2 medium oranges
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
7 tablespoons canola oil, divided
1 medium green bell pepper, sliced
1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups cooked brown rice, warmed

Steps:

  • Slice steaks very thin. Zest one orange; juice both oranges.
  • Mix orange juice, orange zest, honey, soy sauce, ginger, Worcestershire, black pepper, red pepper flakes, cinnamon, and cloves for marinade together in a large glass or ceramic bowl. Add steak slices, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for 4 hours.
  • Remove steak from the marinade and shake off excess. Reserve 1/2 cup of marinade; set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons canola oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1/3 of the steak slices and cook until browned, 3 to 5 minutes, being careful as this will cook quickly. Remove to a heat-proof dish or bowl. Continue cooking steak in the same fashion, using 2 tablespoons oil for every batch.

Tips and Conclusion

Here are some expert tips for making the perfect orange sauce for stir-fry:

  • Choosing the Right Oranges: Opt for ripe and juicy oranges with a vibrant orange hue. Avoid oranges that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Zest Before Juicing: Before juicing the oranges, grate the zest using a microplane or fine grater. The zest adds a burst of citrusy flavor and aroma to the sauce.
  • Straining the Juice: Strain the orange juice through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any pulp or seeds, ensuring a smooth and silky sauce.
  • Balancing the Sweetness: Taste the orange juice and adjust the amount of sugar or honey accordingly. For a tangy sauce, you may need less sweetener.
  • Adding Spices: Experiment with different spices to enhance the flavor of the sauce. Ground ginger, garlic powder, or a pinch of red pepper flakes can add warmth and complexity.
  • Thickening the Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, cornstarch or arrowroot powder can be used as thickeners. Mix a small amount of cornstarch or arrowroot powder with water to form a slurry, then stir it into the simmering sauce until it reaches your desired consistency.

In conclusion, making your own orange sauce for stir-fry is a delightful and versatile culinary adventure. With the right ingredients and techniques, you can create a flavorful and vibrant sauce that complements various stir-fry dishes. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner in the kitchen, this homemade orange sauce will elevate your stir-fry experience and impress your family and friends. So, gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and embark on this culinary journey to create a delicious orange sauce that will tantalize your taste buds and leave you craving for more.
