Orange ground chicken wok
========================= 2021-09-25


Inspired from: ground orange chicken

Comment: Serve with steamed broccoli and/or rice (I prefer pilaf for the flavor) or fried rice. If ginger/garlic paste is not available, use half grated ginger and half grated garlic. This is a very quick dish to make once the ingredients are ready, less than 15 minutes. If your soy sauce is not low sodium, there is no need to add salt.
