Is this pretty much the same if you want Orange Chicken? Just replace the beef with chicken?

Actually sounds better. So often Orange Chicken is nasty deep fried batter with a little chicken in the middle.

I've really come to hate breading just in general. I've tried (unsuccesfully) to make orange chicken myself but it just never comes out very good. Going to give this recipe a try though.

If all else fails, I can have a serving of Trader Joe's orange chicken for about 260 cals, so I get my fix. :smokin:

This is good! I've use broccoli instead of the sugar snap peas & carrots. And I have used chicken. I like it all.

I can't tell you how much I miss good saucy Chinese food. This sounds delicious.
