Cooking Guide
Step 1
1Whisk the sauce: combine the 1 tablespoon cornstarch, rice wine, water, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, white vinegar, and orange zest.
The Why
Mixing the sauce ahead means it goes in fast at the end, and the cornstarch is already dispersed so it thickens smooth instead of clumping.
