Ingredients

  • 2 oz Frozen Meatless Chicken Nuggets
  • 1 tbsp Peanut Oil
  • 2 stalks Green Onions
  • 6 whole Red Chiles
  • 1 clove Garlic
  • 1 Orange Zest
  • ½ cup White Sugar
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce
  • 3 tbsp Vegetable Broth
  • 1 tbsp Rice Vinegar
  • 2 tsp Sesame Oil
  • ½ tsp Fresh Ginger
  • ¼ tsp Water
  • 2 tsp Cornstarch
  • 3 cups Brown Rice
  • 3 cups Steamed Broccoli
  • 2 tsp Toasted Sesame Seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place frozen nuggets on a baking sheet.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Flip nuggets and continue to bake until heated through and crispy, 7 to 9 more minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm.
  3. While the nuggets are cooking, heat peanut oil in a wok or large skillet over high heat. Stir in white parts of green onions, red chiles, garlic, and orange zest. Cook, stirring, until chiles and garlic are fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Add sugar, soy sauce, broth, vinegar, sesame oil, and ginger to the wok. Bring to a boil and cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
  5. Whisk together water and cornstarch in a small bowl stir into the sauce. Return to a boil and cook until thickened, about 1 minute. Remove and discard orange zest.
  6. Stir nuggets into sauce to coat. Reduce heat to low cook, stirring frequently, until nuggets are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
  7. Serve nugget mixture over rice with broccoli. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green parts of green onions.
