Crispy Orange Chicken with Noodles
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 egg
1/2 cup water
2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
2 cups cooked noodles
For the Orange Sauce:
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (slurry)
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/4 cup chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions:
In a bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg with water. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, then coat with the flour mixture. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat and fry the chicken until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
In a separate pan, combine orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer, then add the cornstarch slurry. Stir until thickened. Toss the fried chicken in the sauce until well coated. Serve over cooked noodles, drizzle with sesame oil, and garnish with green onions. Enjoy!
