SWEET-AND-SOUR ORANGE SAUCE

Sweet-and-Sour Orange Sauce image

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.

ORANGE SAUCE

Orange Sauce image

I love the orange sauce from my local Chinese take away (usually Chicken with Orange Sauce), so I kindly asked them how they made it! Its so simply to make and has a strong sweet orange taste and is perfect for coating pieces of chicken and other meats or to be used as a sweet dip.

Time 10m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

200 ml orange juice (I use Robinsons Orange) or 200 ml orange liqueur (I use Robinsons Orange)
50 ml orange juice (I use Robinsons Orange) or 50 ml orange liqueur (I use Robinsons Orange)
1 tablespoon cornflour
2 teaspoons sugar

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.

Tips:

Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss any steps.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for this sauce. If you can, use organic oranges to avoid any pesticides or chemicals.
Zest the Oranges: Be sure to zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the sauce.
Use a Good Quality Soy Sauce: A good quality soy sauce will add a rich, savory flavor to the sauce. Look for a soy sauce that is made with non-GMO soybeans and is low in sodium.
Don't Overcook the Sauce: The sauce should be cooked until it has thickened slightly, but it should not be overcooked. Overcooked sauce will lose its flavor and become too thick.
Taste the Sauce and Adjust the Seasonings: Before serving, taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more soy sauce, orange juice, or sugar to taste.
