Orange Chicken

Orange Chicken

A traditional dish from Chinese-American restaurants, orange chicken consists of crispy fried chicken mixed in a tangy, sticky citrus sauce. But, others would argue that if you've just ever ordered it for takeout or delivery, you've been losing out.

There is much to be said for the delicate balance of orange chicken prepared in the style of takeout when it is first removed from the pan. You simultaneously experience the crunch and the savoriness. But after 30 minutes, forget it. Just out of the pan, it tastes so much better. Thankfully, it's simpler than you may imagine to bring the staple of Chinese takeaway home.

"Food is everything we are. It's an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It's inseparable from those from the get-go." - Anthony Bourdain

Teriyaki Chicken with Sweet Slaw

Teriyaki chicken, which is sweet, salty, and sticky, is the ideal weeknight meal. The Japanese phrase "teriyaki" describes grilled dishes that have been seasoned with soy sauce using a marinade, basting, or dipping sauce. Teriyaki, as it is known to Americans, has Japanese American roots and often consists of additional sweetness from sugar or mirin, as well as aromatics and occasionally fruit juice. For our home-made teriyaki sauce, we use fresh ginger, garlic, green onions, soy sauce, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar to create that cherished flavor with a hint of tang.

Complete the meal by serving this popular takeout staple with a sweet slaw and white rice.

Pan Fried Beef Tenderloin

Tangy, garlicky, and tasty beef is prepared in a savory marinade of citrus liquids and soy sauce. It has the flavors that remind me of my father's cooking: salty, sour, and just a little bit sweet. I still remember having the need to beg my father to prepare additional sauce so I can drizzle some over my rice.

A Thankful Heart

Have you ever received praise and gratitude without even recognizing that your small act of kindness had benefited someone else? Throughout high school, I consistently brought my lunch and some peanut butter sandwiches for snacks. I always share my peanut butter sandwich with a classmate. She never raised a protest, so I assumed that either she enjoyed peanut butter or was being polite. Following high school, we lost contact. Years later, she would thank me on Facebook for my kind gesture and the sandwiches that spared her from being hungry. I was taken aback since I never would have guessed that she didn't have enough money to buy herself lunch. I was thankful that in some way I was able to help.

Peruvian Inspired Chicken Stir Fry

Lomo saltado, a popular stir-fry that usually mixes sirloin strips that have been marinated in vinegar, soy sauce, and other spices, then stir-fried with onions, tomatoes, French fries, and other seasonings, served with rice, is the source of inspiration for my dish. The meal's origins are in Peruvian Chinese cuisine, or "Chifa heritage, the Chinese cuisine of Peru," despite the fact that it is now a fixture of popular culture.
