Ready for some delicious gluten free take out? I’ve got a great chinese recipe that I came across that is so yummy you’ll never miss the gluten. You’ll get a little messy making this dish in the kitchen, but the flavor is well worth the mess. Serve this with some steamed rice and you are all set.
Ingredients:
- 2lbs boneless skinless chicken, chopped into bite sized pieces
- 1 large egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- white pepper
- oil (for frying)
- 1/2 cup cornstarch, plus 1 tablespoon
- 1/4 cup white rice flour ( I used Bob’s Red Mill)
- 1 tablespoon ginger-root, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed hot red chill pepper
- 1/4 cup green onion, chopped
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
Orange Sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce (I used San-J Gluten Free Soy Sauce)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons water
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 5 tablespoons white vinegar
- zest of 1 orange
- Mix ingredients for orange sauce in a small bowl and set aside. Place chicken pieces in large bowl and stir in egg, salt, pepper and 1 tablespoon oil. Mix well. Stir cornstarch and flour together and add chicken pieces, stirring to coat. Heat oil for deep-frying in wok or dutch oven to 375 degrees. Add chicken, small batches at a time, and fry 3 to 4 minutes or until golden crisp. Remove chicken from oil with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels; set aside. Clean wok or dutch oven and heat 15 seconds over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil and then add ginger and garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant; about 10 seconds. Add and stir-fry crushed chiles and green onions. Add white wine vinegar and stir 3 seconds. Add Orange Sauce and bring to boil. Add cooked chicken, stirring until well mixed. Stir water into remaining 1 tablespoon cornstarch until smooth and add to chicken then heat until sauce is thickened. Stir in sesame oil and orange zest if desired.
