Instructions
-
In a small bowl, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and cornstarch to make the sauce for the orange chicken. Set aside.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add chicken pieces to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and slightly browned, about 5-6 minutes.
-
Pour the prepared orange sauce over the chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
-
heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a separate skillet or wok. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute.
-
Push the garlic to one side of the skillet and add the beaten eggs to the other side. Scramble the eggs until cooked through.
-
Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are tender.
-
Add the cooked rice to the skillet with the vegetables and eggs. Pour soy sauce over the rice and mix well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is heated through.
-
Season the fried rice with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat.
-
Serve the egg-fried rice alongside the orange chicken. Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and additional soy sauce if desired.
