Orange Ginger & Garlic Sauce
- 2 teaspoon canola oil
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon orange juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1. Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add onions. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes or until translucent.
- 2. Add the water, brown sugar, low sodium soy sauce, garlic powder, ground ginger, crushed red pepper flakes, and orange juice to the pot. Stir to combine.
- 3. Whisk the cornstarch and water mixture together until smooth and drizzle it into the sauce. Whisk until the mixture dissolves. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for 5 minutes or until thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Cool the sauce slightly before using.
Chef Tips:
- To press tofu, place it between clean towels and cover it with a heavy plate or weight.
- To blanch broccoli, cook it in boiling water or in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes until bright green. Remove it from the heat and place it in ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain it well before using.
