Ground Orange Chicken Bowl

Made in one pan, I used my wok and took 20 minutes to make this delicious bowl.  You could also use the filling in a lettuce wrap.   It's a Panda Express copycat sauce but so much healthier than the original.  I adapted this recipe from www.dinnerthendessert.com  Serves 2-4

Ingredients:

1 pound ground chicken

1 green pepper, diced 

1 tablespoon ginger root, minced

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon rice wine, found in the Asian grocery section (not rice vinegar)

2 tablespoons water

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

4 teaspoons soy sauce

5 tablespoons sugar

5 tablespoons white vinegar

zest of 1/2 orange

1 tablespoon water

1 tablespoon cornstarch

Instructions:

To make the sauce combine the rice wine, 2 tablespoons water, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, white vinegar, and orange zest.  Set aside  

To make the cornstarch mixture, dissolve 1 tablespoon cornstarch in the remaining 1 tablespoon of water and set aside.

In a wok or frying pan add 1 tablespoon of oil, ground chicken, and green pepper.  

Cook, breaking apart for 3 minutes or until cooked through.

Once the chicken is cooked add the fresh ginger and garlic and cook for about 10 seconds.

Add the orange sauce and bring to a boil.

Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and cook for a few seconds, stirring until it thickens.
