How to cook deliciously - Vegan General Tso's Chick'n

1. Stage

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place frozen nuggets on a baking sheet.

2. Stage

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. Stage

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. Stage

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. Stage

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. Stage

Stir nuggets into sauce to coat. Reduce heat to low; cook, stirring frequently, until nuggets are heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

7. Stage

Serve nugget mixture over rice with broccoli. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and green parts of green onions.
