Not the quickest meal but oh so tasty! The sauce was so good and better than any store bought bottle I’ve ever tried. I’d definitely make this again.

My family practically gobbled it up. I didn't have ginger but it was still good. I topped with sesame seeds and that escalated it

turned out great. Didn't have oysters sauce so I had to substitute with more hoisin and Teriyaki sauce and also added some orange oil in the sauce as well to up the orange flavor. Batter need to be loosened a little bit to not make it too thick for our liking, but it definitely quenched the fix for orange chicken. Also added roasted cashews...worth it.

wonderfully delicious

Lady Wills a year ago

Delicious!!! Mouth dripping and flavorful dish that could serve a family of five. I made extra sauce and it wasn't enough; so next time I will triple the count to allow dipping or drizzle. I made three dishes from this chef and they all turn out incredible.

So good. Better than takeout. Takes a little while to come together but worth it. Will be making again.

This is my 8 year old sons favorite dish now. Great balance of Asian flavors gives this dish the perfect balance of sweet, spicy and umami.

Rachel Hunter 2 years ago

ended up using regular flour and it was still great.

Kaitlyn Elliott 2 years ago

I made it last night for dinner and my whole family loved it! I couldn’t find tempura batter mix, so I used the cornstarch/flour mix and it turned out well. It did take awhile though, so I wouldn’t plan on cooking this if you don’t have a ton of time

Earl 2 years ago

I mistakenly picked up stir fry sauce instead of oyster sauce. So I added more orange juice. I was still delicious.
