Provided by Maggie Zhu

Categories     Sauce

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon vegetable oil ((or grapeseed oil))
4 cloves garlic (, minced)
2 tablespoons ginger (, minced)
1/2 cup loosely packed dried tangerine peel ((or grated orange zest))
1 cup orange juice
3/4 cup rice vinegar ((or distilled white vinegar))
1/4 cup light soy sauce
1/4 cup Shaoxing wine
1/2 cup sugar
2 and 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Add dried tangerine skin in a small bowl and add hot water to cover. Let soak for about 20 minutes, or until the tangerine skin softens. Drain and finely slice. Transfer 1/4 cup sliced tangerine skin into a bowl, and save the rest in a airtight container in the fridge for next time. If you do not use dried tangerine peel, grate about four fresh orange skins to make 1/2 cup orange zest.
  • Add the rest of the sauce ingredients and the rehydrated tangerine skin to a big bowl. Stir until the cornstarch is fully combined.
  • Heat oil in a saucepan until warm. Add garlic and minced ginger. Cook and stir until you smell a strong fragrance.
  • Stir to mix the sauce again to completely dissolve the cornstarch. Pour into the pan. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, just enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Transfer the sauce into a bowl immediately, so it won't continue to cook in residual heat.
  • Transfer the sauce in a airtight jar or container once cooled down. Store in the fridge for 1 to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for 2 to 3 month.

MAKE YOUR OWN ORANGE SAUCE FOR STIR-FRY



Make Your Own Orange Sauce for Stir-Fry image

This sauce is really good with stir-fried chicken or pork.

Provided by Daily Inspiration S

Categories     Other Sauces

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 c good quality orange juice (bottled)
1 tsp fresh orange peel (not zest)
1 tsp low sodium soy sauce or tamari
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
3 Tbsp granulated sugar (could use sugar substitute) - adjust if necessary
2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp cornstarch

Steps:

  • 1. In a saucepan, combine orange juice through sugar and cook until boiling.
  • 2. Combine cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Stir slowly into orange mixture until boiling and thickened.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor for the sauce. If you can't find fresh oranges, you can use frozen orange juice concentrate, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Choose a variety of oranges: Different varieties of oranges have different flavor profiles. For a sweeter sauce, use navel oranges. For a more tart sauce, use Seville oranges.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them: The zest of the oranges contains a lot of flavor. By zesting the oranges before juicing them, you can release this flavor into the sauce.
  • Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is one of the main flavor components in the sauce. Use a good quality soy sauce that has a rich, umami flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The sauce should be cooked until it is slightly thickened, but it should not be overcooked. Overcooked sauce will lose its flavor.

Conclusion:

Orange sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to stir-fry a variety of vegetables, proteins, and noodles. It is a great way to add a bright, citrusy flavor to your dishes. With its vibrant color and tangy taste, orange sauce is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
