RECIPE COURTESY OF JET TILA
Level: Intermediate
Total: 45 min
Active: 30 min
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
Sauce:
1/2 cup (118 ml) oyster sauce
1/2 cup (95 g) sugar
3 ounces (90 ml) orange juice
3 ounces (90 ml) rice wine vinegar (unseasoned)
1 tablespoon (7 g) cornstarch, mixed into the rice wine vinegar as a slurry
2 tablespoons (30 ml) soy sauce
1 tablespoon (15 ml) hoisin sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 drop red food coloring, optional
Chicken:
3 cups broccoli florets
Kosher salt, to taste
1 1/2 quarts (1.8 L) vegetable oil, for deep frying
2 pounds (900 g) chicken thighs, cut in to 1 1/2-inch cubes
2 1/2 cups (335 g) tempura flour
Assembly:
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as canola or grapeseed
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
Fried chicken pieces, from above
2 to 3 scallions, 2-inch bias slice
1/2 yellow onion, large dice
Orange Chicken Sauce, from above
Fried Rice, recipe follows
Fried Rice:
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, such as canola or grapeseed
3 eggs, lightly beaten
4 cups day old rice, long grain or jasmine
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon powdered chicken bouillon
2 to 3 green onions, chopped
1/2 teaspoons white pepper, optional
Directions
For the sauce: Add the oyster sauce, sugar, orange juice, vinegar-cornstarch slurry, soy sauce, hoisin sauce and paprika into a 1-quart saucepan, bring the heat up to medium. Whisk gently as it comes to a simmer. Allow to simmer, keep whisking for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and reserve.
For the broccoli: Place the broccoli florets in a microwave safe bowl with 1/4 cup water. Season with kosher salt and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Hold for assembly.
For the Chicken: Heat the oil in a 4-quart Dutch oven to 375 degrees F using a frying thermometer. Rinse the chicken in cold water and pat dry. Sprinkle 1 cup tempura flour over the chicken cubes and toss to lightly dredge, shake off the excess. Mix the remaining 1 1/2 cups of tempura flour with 1 cup cold water to make a thin batter, it should look like pancake batter. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain on paper towels or a rack.
To assemble: Heat a large skillet to high and add the vegetable oil. When you see the first wisps of white smoke, stir in the garlic, ginger and fried chicken pieces and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the scallions, onion and Orange Chicken Sauce and allow to coat and simmer. Stir until all the ingredients are well coated, about 2 minutes. Serve over fried rice or steamed rice, with the steamed broccoli.
Fried Rice:
In a large skillet, heat the oil until a wisp of white smoke appears. Pour in the eggs and add the rice immediately. Using a wide silicone spatula, work the rice into the egg in circular motions, making sure not to break the grains. After about 30 seconds, the egg will start to coagulate and surround the rice, the rice will start to dry. Keep scraping the pan and folding the rice back into the middle.
Add the soy sauce, sugar and chicken bouillon. Continue to fold for about a minute. Don't be afraid to scrape up the rice stuck to the bottom of the pan. Cook until the rice absorbs the liquid and egg but is still fluffy. Fold in the green onions and white pepper and cook for an additional minute. Serve immediately.

Jet is like that cool teacher whose class you never want to miss.

I made this in UK as I have never seen orange chicken in any Chinese Takeaway here and it was absolutely amazing. My son loved it. Thanks Sir.🇬🇧

You make it look so easy, explaining everything as you go, and why a certain ingredient is being used. The most helpful thing you show in some of your videos is the container or packaging the ingredient comes in. That makes it so much easier to find the same item(s) in my Asian store.
-
Chef has an awesome personality. Explains everything so clearly. Love these!!
-
Jet is the BEST food network has and him and his wife are made for each other so glad I found him

I love that you start out the videos in the supermarket with brief tips on what food items to purchase.
