Method
step 1
Put the orange juice, sugar, vinegar, soy, garlic and ginger in a large pan over a medium heat, bring to the boil and turn down the heat to a simmer and simmer for 4 mins. Mix the cornflour in a small bowl with 3 tbsp cold water until it’s dissolved.
step 2
Pour half of the cornflour mix into the sauce, stirring gradually, until it’s thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, adding a little more cornflour slurry if it needs to be slightly thicker. Use the sauce to coat crispy chicken, if you like, and serve with cooked rice and scatter over sliced spring onion greens to serve.
