Simple Orange Sauce

I’m going to share this easy orange sauce because although it’s simple, it can be used for so many things.

Orange Roasted Chicken thighs with Brussels, onions and peppers over Jasmine rice- tossed with orange sauce.

Simply combine all ingredients into a saucepan and bring to a boil while stirring continuously, then drop to low and simmer until it’s a nice glaze.

  • 2 large oranges juiced, (about 1 cup) and a bit of zest if you like a little bitterness. You can also use store bought orange juice but it’s considerably sweeter.
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar or brown sugar
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch mixed well into 1/4 cup of water
  • A splash of sesame oil (optional)
  • A pinch of cayenne (optional)

My kids love orange chicken (the fried tempura chicken) and this is a great sauce. Sometimes I omit the garlic and ginger bc my kids don’t care for the heat. But it’s a great easy sauce. Enjoy!
