I first appreciated the yummiest orange chicken at a Chinese fusion restaurant called “CHOPSUEY” at Dempsey Hill in Singapore.
Dempsey Hill is one iconic destination in Singapore where our son often brings us. The former barracks of the British army, it is nicely converted into posh restaurants with great ambiance and the best international cuisine offerings. The boutiques are “local trendy to ritz global”,as described in a blog I’ve read. There are several delis where we can enjoy a little snack, a light lunch or so. I’ve been to Culina at COMO and Jones, the Grocer.
Recalling the taste of orange made me want to eat orange chicken again. This is my version
Ingredients
7-8 debones chicken legs
Marinade:
Juice of 1 orange
3 tbsps soy sauce
1/2 cup corn starch
Salt and pepper to taste.
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1 egg beaten optional
Deep fry the chicken, making sure they do not stick together. Set aside when done.
Glaze
In a low pan put in
2 tbsp soy sauce
Juice of 1 orange
1/2 tsp brown sugar
Rind of one orange
Reduce the above mixture in low heat until it thickens.
Put the fried chicken in the pan to coat. In my case, i just poured over the glaze onto the fried chicken.
Enjoy!
