    Panda Express Orange Flavored Chicken
    Tender, juicy chicken pieces lightly battered and fried, sauteed in
    a sweet and mildly spicy chili sauce with scallions.

    1 lb. chicken breast meat
    1 egg white
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon sugar
    4 cups vegetable oil to be used for frying
    1 cup cornstarch

    Orange Sauce
    1 cup water
    1/2 cup ketchup
    1/2 cup sugar
    1/8 cup vinegar
    1 tablespoon soy sauce
    4 teaspoons cornstarch
    2 teaspoons sesame oil
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    1 tablespoon grated orange peel
    2 tablespoons chopped scallion

    1. Cut chicken breast into 1/2-inch cubes, set aside.

    2. To make marinade - combine egg white, salt and sugar in a bowl
    and stir vigorously until ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Add
    chicken cubes to marinade and stir to coat well.

    3. To make orange sauce - combine water, ketchup, sugar, vinegar,
    soy sauce, 4 teaspoons cornstarch and sesame oil; stir and set
    aside. Place a pot over high heat. When pot is hot, add the 2
    tablespoons vegetable oil and heat. Add orange peel and scallion
    and stir for about 20 seconds, taking care not to burn the orange
    peel.

    4. Pour combined sauce ingredients into the pot and cook, stirring
    frequently, until sauce has thickened, about 12-15 minutes.

    5. Preheat 4 cups oil to 350-375�F. Meanwhile, put marinated
    chicken in the plastic baggie containing the cornstarch. Shake
    chicken well for about 20 seconds or until chicken is covered with
    cornstarch. Shake off all excess cornstarch and fry chicken in hot
    oil until golden brown, approximately 2 1/2 minutes. Remove chicken
    from oil with a slotted spoon, drain well and set aside. Add fried
    chicken to pot with heated orange sauce, stir for about 30 seconds,
    then serve immediately.

    6. Serve with steamed rice.

    Serves 4
