Steps:
- In medium bowl, toss chicken pieces and soy sauce.
- In small bowl, beat orange juice and 2 teaspoons cornstarch with whisk until cornstarch is dissolved.
- In 10-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add garlic, gingerroot, orange peel and pepper flakes; stir-fry about 30 seconds or until fragrant. Add broth, 2 teaspoons soy sauce, the vinegar and sugar; stir about 30 seconds or until sugar dissolves. Stir orange juice mixture, then add it to skillet. Heat sauce to boiling, stirring. Reduce heat to low; simmer 1 minute. Transfer sauce to bowl; wipe out skillet.

- Place 1/4 cup cornstarch in shallow bowl. Toss chicken in cornstarch, coating evenly and gently knocking off any excess; transfer to plate.

SESAME CHICKEN WITH SNOW PEAS
Skip the take-out and make your own version of this popular sweet-and-savory Chinese-American dish. We've lightened our version up by giving the chicken a quick marinade in soy and honey instead of coating and deep-frying it as most restaurants do. Steamed snow peas and brown rice round out the meal.

Steps:
- Whisk 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil and the honey together in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, toss and marinate 20 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade using a slotted spoon. Heat 2 teaspoons canola oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in 2 batches, turning once or twice, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes (add 2 more teaspoons canola oil between batches). Transfer the chicken to a plate and wipe out the skillet.
- Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil in the skillet. Add the scallions, reserving some of the green parts for topping. Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Whisk the broth, sugar, cornstarch, vinegar, chili paste and the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce in a bowl; add to the skillet and cook, stirring, until thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil.
- Meanwhile, cook the snow peas in a steamer basket set over a few inches of boiling water until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the skillet with the sauce and heat through. Serve the chicken and snow peas over brown rice, if desired. Top with the sesame seeds and reserved scallion greens.
SPICY ORANGE CHICKEN
My Spicy Orange Chicken has the same flavor profile as its take-out counterpart, Orange Chicken: the sweet orange, the spicy chilies, and the Asian condiments. I make this without oil, making something much lighter and very tasty.

Steps:
- Add chicken to the skillet, add sliced carrots, mix orange juice and soy sauce together and pour over the chicken. Place on stove and cover; bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until chicken is tender. Can use boneless, skinless breasts, but the sauce isn't as flavorful. I also double the amounts of liquid, as I like to have extra sauce.
