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.

See if the place offers sweet and sour sauce, it's great for adding sweetness to some of the heavier dishes in Cantonese cuisine. However I've never had my Chinese food taste like a cleaner lol, is it the only Chinese restaurant near you?

I like most of their other dishes, I don't usually get orange chicken so I'll still order most of my food from them.

Ah fair. Some Chinese restaurants near me have dishes they just aren't good at. One has great entrees but trash rice, and another has awesome rice but mediocre chicken dishes.
