Orange Chickenesque

2tablespoon Braggs Liquid Aminos or 1 tbl soy sauce
garlic & onion powder (to taste)

other 1/2 of the orange juice
1-2 teaspoon of grated ginger root
1 tbl sesame oil
garlic & onion powder (to taste)
2-3tablespoon of sugar
2 tbl Braggs Liquid Aminos or 1 tbl soy sauce
2 tbl cornstarch powder (I put all the ingredients into the oj bottle and shook it up really well)
Other Ingredients (use vegan versions):
1 package of chicken substitute such as seitan
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped in large pieces
1 small broccoli crown, chopped
1 small onion chopped in large pieces
1 clove of garlic, minced or pressed
2-3 stalks of celery chopped in large pieces
1 carrot, grated
Toss the chicken substitute and marinade in a ziplock bag in the fridge and leave for at least an hour or longer. Sauté onion in olive or sesame oil until soft. Add the red pepper, garlic, broccoli and celery and cook until tender. Add chicken substitute and sauté a bit longer, about 5 min or so. Add the sauce contents and stir, cooking on low until thickened. right before dishing up, add the grated carrot. Serve over brown rice.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
Wow, I forgot to review this. I've made this several times, with great results every time. I like the fact that there's a considerable amount of orange juice in it (unlike many other orange sauce recipes), but it's still got that unhealthy-orange-sauce flavor ;) I've used it with fake chicken (lightlife strips to whitewave chicken-style seitan), but i might try it with just tofu and broccoli.
So so soooo good.
