Instructions

Step 1

Slice chicken into 1/4 inch thin. In a mixing bowl, add sliced chicken, 2 tsp soy sauce, rice vinegar, corn starch, baking soda, and black pepper. Mix well, until chicken is coated evenly with sauce. Set aside.

Step 2

While the chicken is marinating, make the sauce and prepare the vegetables. In a mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, sambal, orange chicken sauce, 2 tsp soy sauce, and orange juice. Whisk well and set aside.

Step 3

Roughly chop garlic, julienne ginger and chop green onion, set aside.

Step 4

Heat a wok over high heat; add cooking oil and swirl to coat. Add chopped garlic and ginger, stir fry until you can smell the fragrance, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Add marinated chicken into wok, combine with garlic and ginger. Spread chicken evenly bottom of work, and cook until it’s golden brown and crispy, about a couple minutes. Turn it over, and cook other side for a couple minutes or until chicken is cooked 3/4 way.

Step 6

Add the sauce and stir fry until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is fully cooked and coated with sauce evenly, about a couple minutes. Stir frequently. Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds.
