Cantonese Orange Ribs, plus orange chicken because why not I guess | Chinese Cooking Demystified

Orange sauce... forgive the brief aside on my frustrating quest into the history of the stuff - I know we're all perhaps more confused now than when we started. Regardless, Orange Ribs are a less common Cantonese dish, but quite tasty nevertheless.

Now, I know we never really do any of American-Chinese takeout stuff on this channel - nothing against it, really just that we've got nothing here to test it against and we feel it'd be best left to those outside of China. But throwing caution to the wind, we decided to whip up "orange chicken" - I put that in quotes because there's precisely zero guarantee that it's anything like your local takeout joint's. We're using the modern Cantonese orange sauce (a bit different than Panda Express's), together with the deep-frying method used by sweet and sour pork. It's kinda a Frankenstein, but it was fun to get creative there and it scratched that itch at least.

Learn how to cook real deal, authentic Chinese food! We post recipes every Tuesday (unless we happen to be travelling) :)

We're Steph and Chris - a food-obsessed couple that lives in Shunde, China. Steph is from Guangzhou and loves cooking food from throughout China - you'll usually be watching her behind the wok. Chris is a long-term expat from America that's been living in China and loving it for the last eleven years - you'll be listening to his explanations and recipe details, and doing some cooking at times as well.

This channel is all about learning how to cook the same taste that you'd get in China. Our goal for each video is to give you a recipe that would at least get you close to what's made by some of our favorite restaurants here. Because of that, our recipes are no-holds-barred Chinese when it comes to style and ingredients - but feel free to ask for tips about adaptations and sourcing too!
