Panda Express® Orange Flavored Chicken

As far as Chinese food goes, I think the stuff these guys
throw together in sizzling woks is surprisingly tasty for
a takeout chain. This dish is something of a twist on the
traditional sweet and sour chicken commonly found at Chinese
restaurants over the years. This popular menu item has a
delicious, citrus-laced, tangy-sweet sauce with a spicy nip
the regulars find truly addictive. The chain claims to cook
all of its food in woks, including sauces. But this homegrown
version will work fine, whether you go for a wok, or not.

Sauce
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced water chestnuts
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
1 rounded teaspoon chopped green onion
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
5 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons arrowroot
3 tablespoons water

Chicken
4 chicken breast fillets
1 cup ice water
1 egg
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups unsifted cake flour

2 to 4 cups vegetable oil

1. Combine all of the sauce ingredients - except the cornstarch,
arrowroot, and 3 tablespoons of water - in a small saucepan over
high heat. Stir often while bringing mixture to a boil. When sauce
reaches a boil, remove it from heat and allow it to cool a bit,
uncovered.
2. Slice chicken breasts into bite-size chunks. Remove exactly 1
cup of the marinade from the pan and pour it over the chicken in
a large resealable plastic bag or other container which allows
the chicken to be completely covered with the marinade. The chicken
should marinate for at least a couple hours. Cover the remaining
sauce and leave it to cool until the chicken is ready.
3. When chicken has marinated, preheat 2 inches of vegetable oil
in a wok or skillet to 350 degrees.
4. Combine cornstarch with arrowroot in a small bowl, then add 3
tablespoons of water. Stir until cornstarch and arrowroot have
dissolved. Pour this mixture into the sauce and set the pan over
high heat. When sauce begins to bubble and thicken, cover and
remove it from heat.
5. Beat together the ice water and egg in a medium bowl. Add baking
soda and salt.
6. Add 3/4 cup of the flour and stir with a fork just until the
flour in blended into the mixture. The batter should still be lumpy.
7. Sprinkle another 1/4 cup of flour on top of the batter and mix
with only one or two strokes. Most of the new flour will still
floating on top of the mixture. Put the remaining flour (1/2 cup)
into a separate medium bowl.
8. Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour, then into the
batter. Let some of the batter drip off and then slide the chicken
into the oil. Fry up to 1/2 of the chicken pieces at a time for
3 to 4 minutes, or until golden brown. Flip the chicken over halfway
through the cooking time. Remove the chicken to a rack or paper
towels to drain.
9. As the chicken cooks, reheat the sauce left covered on the stove.
Stir occasionally.
10. When all of the chicken is done, pour it into a large bowl,
and cover with the thickened sauce. Stir gently until all of the
pieces are well coated.
Serves four.

Beer and Cheese Soup


U need:

1 cup chopped onion white
1 Cup chopped celery
1 Big ass brick of cheese (marble)
2 Bottles of beer ..corona works best..harsh beer tastes Skunky get it warm in a water bath
1 package of redy crisp bacon bits.
2 cans of condensed milk
fresh cilantro


Cook the onion and celery in the bottom of a pot with lots of butter..add salt and pepper as desired.
when cooked add in the 2 cans of condensed milk.. let that simmer for 10 min

-add 2 bottles of beer , slowly ...get the beer as warm as possible before adding..or it will curdle.

Take the brick of cheese and grate it..then stir it in.


Now depending on desired thickness you may want to add a mixture of flour and cold water..mix it up in a cup prior to adding.. use cold water so it doesn't clump.

Add that in to thicken it up

Add in bacon bits.. real bacon bits...not fake one.

let this shit cook for about 20 min.. add in some cilantro for the last few mins.. it gives it that mexican taste...


Serve it in french onion soup bowls ... Grate Cheese ont he top and put th eoven on Broil , or use a torch to melt the cheese.

Finely Chop up tomato's and put on the top and put fine chopped cilantro on top... U can put a tortia chip sticking outof it for presentation


Eat it and get fat as fuck... it will knock you out / slow you down.. it's the equivalent of Running through a pool wearing a snow suit... But damm it's tastey.

ill pull out some more of my recipes.

potato pancakes! the real kind.

alright nigros, cube up raw potatoes, idaho, red, yukon gold, whatever you want/like. peel them, peels mess the recipe up.

throw it in a blender , about 2/3 full. add in 2 eggs, 1c white flour (use something else at your own risk), 2T butter/margarine (optional), blend until it's all mixed.

fry like pancakes, in butter or maybe some bacon grease. potatoes + bacon is delicious. eat with ketchup preferably. quick, easy, not all that bad for you, and is always a healthy addition to beer/cheese soup.

to the OP of beer/cheese soup, DO NOT FUCKING USE EVAPORATED MILK!!! it's going to make it overly sweet and taste like total ass.

rHMT recipe VII: Roasted OC

***Originally posted by myAE86turbo ************

This shit is simple, you won't really taste the orange. but, you'll definitely get the essence of it through your nose.

you need:

a sheet pan with a rack (if you dont have a rack you can slice onions and inch thick to use as a natural rack)



and orange, fresh rosemary, fresh thyme, garlic cloves, kosher salt and fresh ground pepper



gift from a buddy that went to europe...Peugeot pepper!!

preheat the oven to 425 deg



cut the orange in half, i used my mad tyte jdm knife



stuff the ass of the chicken with the orange, garlic cloves, thyme and rosemary



coat the bird with oil (olive, blend or canola, or butter if you wish) then sprinkle salt and fresh cracked pepper



throw it into the oven (BREAST SIDE DOWN, legs crossed and wings tucked under the breast) once preheated and rotate the pan 90 deg for every 10 min interval till it looks golden all around like this (you'll rotate a minimum of 40 minutes depending on the size of your bird):





turn the oven down to 350 till the meat isn't raw, if you want time, another 10 min
orient the bird with the neck facing you and the breast side up, and make a shallow incision to the left of the kiel bone in the middle. you can feel for the kiel bone with your finger



cut down till you hit the ribs
then you'll follow along the rib cage at a 50 degree angle to the end of the breast



proceed to cut all the way down cutting the whole side of the chicken off and it should look like this


cut this half where my knife is and do the same thing for the other side but reversed and this is what all your pieces should look like



this is what you do with the carcass...
find your best bud or the person you have sex with and share the "chef's gift"
peel the delicious skin and eat it.
underneath you'll find the 'oysters' (the most precious meat of the bird). discard them like so



here's what my plate looked like. i ate it with foie gras (seared duck liver), super small diced ratatouille, and a salad since i consumed about 1500 calories at work today.

[special ed]

recipe worked pretty well.  i will admit, i fucked up the batter and frying process.  i think the grease was too hot and the batter had become too runny.

i will use the sauce recipe again, but i will use more arrowroot so it will bond better to unbattered chicken.

i can post a general tso soon, i have been wanting to make it lately.

[Conceptz-X]

we about need a recipe forum to organize this shit, cuz there are some sweet ass recipies that get covered up in everything else 

Don't know about you guys, but I like a good home made culinary experiment turned good meal

[Conceptz-X]

I was just saying like a forum somewhere down by the sale stuff or something would be cool.  Not trying to get a whole pile of forums started for misc BS, but food is something I think everybody here can benefit from having better acessibility to.

[Teg2boo]

I wanted to buy a Peugeot as in the pic, but they are fucking 45$ for the small 

A size bigger they are like 70$...

I'm now hungry.  ;D
