Little Miss has created the 2020 Madness of New Foods (why limit ourselves to March?)
4 categories - Fruits/vegetables, Sides/Snacks, Main Dishes, Desserts
64 new foods
10 possible points - Taste (possible 5), Was it worth the effort? (possible 3), Appearance (possible 1), Would we make it again? (possible 1)
First up was Orange Chicken w/jasmine rice topped with cilantro. Technically, we didn't make this, but we went to a cooking class at Williams Sonoma. Little Miss helped work the Instant Pot, and we did taste it. They had 2 Instant Pots - one for the jasmine rice and one for the chicken, but I can make rice on the stove top. It was 3-4 pounds chicken and this jar of sauce for 5 minutes in the Instant Pot. After, cilantro was sprinkled on top.
It was really good. We gave it a 9, but it could have been a 10, but there were some Instant Pot quirks to overcook the chicken.
Recipe:
1. Sautee 3-4 pounds of chicken in a pan.
2. Dump chicken and jar of Williams Sonoma Instant Pot Orange Chicken Sauce. Set for 5 minutes.
3. Serve over jasmine rice. Garnish with cilantro.
In the past, I've cooked the chicken for my chicken teriyaki in my Instant Pot instead of cooking beforehand. I wonder if that would make a difference. Either way, the sauce was good. It was too sweet like a lot of orange chicken sauces.
It was originally supposed to be a General Tso's chicken class, but the sauce didn't come in time so I'm curious about that sauce. If you try it, let me know.
