1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes


3 tablespoons cornstarch

Chicken:


2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch pieces


1 cup all-purpose flour

DIRECTIONS


Pour into saucepan 1 1/2 cups water, orange juice, lemon juice, rice vinegar, and soy sauce; and set over medium-high heat. Stir in orange zest, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and chopped onion. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, and let cool 10 to 15 minutes.


Place chicken pieces into a resealable plastic bag. When contents of saucepan have cooled, pour 1 cup of sauce into bag. Reserve remaining sauce. Seal bag, and refrigerate at least 2 hours.


In another resealable plastic bag, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Add marinated chicken pieces, and shake to coat.


Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken in skillet, and brown on both sides. Remove to paper towels, and cover with aluminum foil.


Wipe out the skillet, and add the sauce. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Mix together cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water, and stir into sauce. Reduce heat to medium low; stir in chicken pieces, and simmer, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

This is not easy. I bet she will not even eat it. Cook what you know best.





Make a very hot pepper sauce. The hottter the better. Mix it with habernero, fresh garlic, scallions, ginger.





Plan B


Cook a rice soup with duck


dipping sauce is ginger, scallions fish sauce


Remember your #1 hot pepper.


Always have a fresh pepper tree in your garden and also mints like cinnamon basil.
You've got a couple of different recipes there. I'll tell you what I do. I just add grated orange zest or a few drops of sweet orange oil to any recipe. Yum. It's like cheating, but it's awfully good.
