Who doesn’t like Orange Chicken, especially the ones you can get in the Chinese takeaways, right? When we lived in Atlanta there was one such eatery at the nearby mall I used to visit quite a few times every month just for that gooey but crunchy deliciousness. I knew it was LOADED in sugar but boy! It was so addictive. This is a much lighter version of that but is delicious in itself. There is no corn syrup or msg used here to enhance flavors- when you make fresh food, you don’t need to enhance anything! Happy cooking and eating @sarchakra
