so my wife and i found this @ costco the other day and thought we give it a whirl....

so what we used was 1.5 lbs. boneless chicken breast.
cubed it up

mix liberal amount of flour with cornstarch for the dry rub
3 eggs and 1 tspn milk
then heat oil in a wok to 350-375 deg.
we used veggy oil about 6 cups..

take cubes of chicken flour then egg and fry...

once all chicken is done place on paper towel to rest for a min while you prep sauce...

like so.....

only use 1/3 of bottle for sauce.. place in a sauce pan on med/low heat
then add chicken..

stir until all chicken is slathered , then let warm for a min..

for the rice its easy as pie... on the stove 2 cups water for 1 cup rice bring water to boil,
add rice, then reduce heat to low, cook for 8-10 min on LOW then remove from heat.
dont touch it, let it sit till rest of dish is ready.

place rice in bowls or whatever you wish...

then add the all mighty OC !!!

the shit does taste just like the real deal!! ;D

this will make 3 full size portions..

ok

It's a bit dark (wouldn't pass panda express quality control

), but looks delicious.

I'll have to settle on getting the OC meal in a bag from Walmart since I have no Costco near me.

Damn, 81 miles away is the closest.

Is it a particular brand or only carried at their store?
