Nothing says Chinese food like a good old serving of Orange Chicken. A few weeks ago, I chanced upon a video of a tasty looking, easy-to-cook recipe for orange chicken on Buzzfeed Food. This recipe, by Tasty Meals (see blog entry), was inspired by US restaurant chain Panda Express.
Fast forward to a few weeks after, aka a few days ago, when a good friend of mine decided to host a potluck dinner in his apartment instead of us going out for dinner. A few friends mentioned bringing some home-cooked food that they were going to make, and others were going to buy food to bring in. I wasn’t sure what I was going to contribute, and usually I end up just buying food to bring over. Somehow, this time, I decided to cook something, but I wasn’t yet sure what to make.
At the end of it, I decided to go with Orange Chicken, especially after remembering the cooking video.
