GINGER CHICKEN



Ginger Chicken image

This isn't usually the ginger chicken that you get in Chinese restaurants. It is a simple and tasty recipe one of my Chinese friends likes to make. It has a good flavour and isn't too over powering. The amounts are an estimation because I have never measured it out. I usually use the liquid from the jar of the ginger not the vinegar. I usually have it with fried rice and a salad. Most of the time for this recipe is the marinating time.

All purpose flour
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 teaspoons minced peeled fresh ginger
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
2 cups orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange peel

Tips:

  • To achieve a more tender chicken, marinate it in the pickled ginger sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you don't have pickled ginger on hand, you can make your own by thinly slicing fresh ginger and soaking it in a mixture of rice vinegar, sugar, and salt for at least 24 hours.
  • For a crispier chicken, fry it in a shallow pool of oil over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken, and don't overcrowd the pan.
  • To make the sauce, simply whisk together the pickled ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup for a sweeter sauce.
  • Serve the chicken with steamed rice, stir-fried vegetables, or a simple salad.
