I got this orange chicken last night and the bitter orange was overpowering. I stuck it in the fridge, when I had some for breakfast the orange flavor had mellowed out but I still wanted to test the flavors.
I added maybe four tablespoons of peach jam to half a container of orange chicken. Definitely sweet, but there are way of balancing that. Next time I order it I'll try it hot with a few different saucers. I'm thinking a spicy kimchi sauce, as would a jalapeño jelly. Thoughts?
Discussion ideas:
I like to make broccoli when I get Chinese delivery, what are your go to side dishes?
Which beers do you like with Chinese food? I like Corona and Sapporo, although if I do that spicy kimchi I'll try to find Kloud.
