CHINESE ORANGE-SESAME CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine the ingredients for the marinade. Add chicken and marinate for 15 to 20 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients: orange juice, chicken stock, sugar, soy sauce, salt, and sesame oil. In a small to medium sized pot, heat up a few teaspoons oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add apple cider vinegar, then the combined sauce ingredients. Simmer until liquid is reduced by three fourths, about 15 minutes. Stir in cornstarch and water mixture until sauce thickens, then season with salt to taste. Set sauce aside and keep warm.
• Drip excess marinade off the chicken, and toss cubes in 1 cup of cornstarch. Shake off excess before frying.
• Meanwhile, heat up the 3 cups oil in a wok. When oil just begins to smoke, add the first batch of chicken cubes and deep-fry until cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove chicken with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
• Reheat orange sauce and add drained chicken cubes. Mix until well-coated. Plate and sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

ORANGE SESAME PORK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Lightly spray a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• In a small bowl, stir together the vinegar, soy sauce, orange juice concentrate, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
• Tucking any thin ends under so they cook evenly, put the pork in the baking pan so the pieces do not touch. Pour the vinegar mixture over the pork.
• Roast for 10 minutes. Turn over. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature registers 150°F on an instant-read thermometer or is slightly pink in the very center. While the pork cooks, if the sauce appears to be burning (it may in corners or in dark pans), tilt the pan and loosen and stir the thicker sticky substances. Add the water if needed.
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet, dry-roast the sesame seeds over low heat for about 2 minutes, or just until fragrant and golden, stirring frequently. Watch carefully so they don't get too brown. Pour onto a small plate.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board. Let stand for about 10 minutes. The pork will continue to cook during the standing time, reaching about 160°F. Cut diagonally, making long, thin slices. Refrigerate half the pork (12 ounces) in an airtight container for use in Cook's-Choice Fried Rice. Transfer the remaining pork to plates. Spoon the pan juices over the pork. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds.
