Orange balls, also known as mandarin orange balls or golden orange balls, are a traditional Chinese dessert that is often served during special occasions such as the Chinese New Year. These sweet and tangy treats are made from fresh oranges, sugar, and glutinous rice flour, which gives them a chewy texture. The balls are coated in a crispy breadcrumb mixture and deep-fried until golden brown. This recipe provides detailed instructions on how to make orange balls from scratch, including variations such as chocolate orange balls and orange balls with a creamy custard filling. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, you'll find everything you need to know to create these delicious and festive treats.

ORANGE CHICKEN KEBABS WITH FRIED STICKY RICE BALLS RECIPE BY TASTY
Orange chicken is always great, but it's even better paired with sticky rice balls and fried to golden brown perfection. These skewers are great for dinner, or to pass around as a party snack. The marinade works double duty here - use half to flavor the chicken and reduce the other half to make a sticky glaze to brush over the finished kebabs.

Steps:
- Rinse the sushi rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear, then transfer to a medium bowl, cover with water, and soak for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- While the rice is soaking, marinate the chicken: In a medium bowl, mix together the orange juice, chicken stock, orange zest, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. 3. Transfer half of the marinade to a large bowl, setting the rest aside.
- Add the chicken thighs to the large bowl of marinade. Toss to coat, then cover with plastic wrap and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, up to 2 hours.
- Drain the rice, then add to a heavy-bottomed pot with the water and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed. 6. Remove the pan from the heat, keeping covered, and let the rice steam for another 10 minutes. Let the rice cool to room temperature.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll the rice into 20 1-inch (2 ½ cm) balls, then place on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to use.
- Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 375°F (190°C). Set a wire rack over a baking sheet.
- Add the reserved marinade to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce by half, about 4 minutes.
- Combine 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and the water in a small bowl, then add to the reduced marinade and whisk to combine, until the sauce is smooth and thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove the pot from the heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the remaining ⅓ cup (40 G) cornstarch, the flour, and salt.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and add to the flour mixture. Toss until well coated.
- Leaving ½ inch (1 ¼ cm) of space at the top, alternately thread 2 rice balls and 2 pieces of chicken onto each skewer, allowing them to touch.
- Fry the skewers in the hot oil, a few at a time, for 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to the wire rack to drain. Brush the skewers with the sauce.
- Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the scallions and sesame seeds. Serve warm.
- Enjoy!

CRISPY ORANGE COCONUT BALLS
In the world of Sandra Lee, a cookbook author and self-proclaimed "lifestylist," life is hectic and people are busy, so she cooks semi-homemade food. "The Semi-Homemade cooking approach is easily done by combining several prepackaged foods, a few fresh ingredients, and a 'pinch of this with a hint of that' to make new, easy, gourmet-tasting, inexpensive meals in minutes," she said. The Duncan Hines Creamy Home-Style chocolate icings that Ms. Lee calls for in her Crispy Orange Coconut Balls (truffles, really) do not allow you to have control over the quality of the chocolate - the main flavor of the dessert. If you would like more control of that flavor, try this riff, developed by Amanda Hesser.

ORANGE CORDIAL FUDGE BALLS
A nice gift for special occasions. I'm guessing at the number of fudge balls it yields; the truth is I'm probably somewhat inconsistent in the exact size I make the fudge balls because sometimes the recipe yields more than at other times. I've never melted the chocolate in the microwave instead of a double boiler but I suppose it's possible.

Tips:
- For a crispy coating, ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying the orange balls. Use a deep-fry thermometer to monitor the temperature, which should be around 350-375°F (175-190°C).
- To prevent the orange balls from sticking together, make sure they are well coated with cornstarch before frying.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a plastic bag with a corner cut off to pipe the orange mixture into the oil.
- For a sweeter filling, add more sugar to the orange mixture. Alternatively, for a tartier filling, add more lemon juice.
- Serve the orange balls immediately after frying for the best taste and texture.
Conclusion:
Orange balls are a delightful and unique treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are relatively easy to make and can be customized to suit your taste preferences. Whether you prefer a crispy coating or a soft and chewy texture, a sweet or tangy filling, orange balls are sure to satisfy your cravings. So next time you are looking for a fun and delicious snack or dessert, give this orange ball recipe a try!
