Orange (or Grapefruit) Ground Chicken

Ingredients

• 2 pound ground chicken
• 2 tablespoons ginger root minced
• 1 large chopped onion
• 1 red and 1 yellow chopped bell pepper
• 3 teaspoons garlic minced
• 1/2 tsp hot red chili pepper crushed
• 4 tablespoon rice wine or red or white wine

• 1 tablespoon water

1 tablespoon cornstarch

~~~ Brown the Ground Chicken with 2 tbsp oil

Once the chicken is cooked add the  onion, ginger, garlic and crushed red pepper and cook for about 10 seconds

To make the sauce combine the wine, water, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, white vinegar, and orange or grapefruit zest with 1/2 of the juice
 
Add the sauce and bring to boil.
Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and cook for just a few seconds, stirring until it thickens then add the chopped bell peppers



As an accompaniment I made my Grandma's famous cucumber salad so as to cool the heat of the dish.  See my salads and others page.
