Recently, when we were on a full vegetarian diet for a month. I had noted to try Panda Express's Vegan Chicken recipe at home for a long time. Vegan Orange Chicken or Eggplant Tofu are my favorite at Panda's when I'm on vegetarian diet. If you like to keep tofu or vegan chicken strips at home? Then you can make Vegan Orange Chicken at home without a grocery store tip! Orange Sauce recipe I'm sharing quickly comes together with pantry staples.

It tastes like Panda Express's new vegan Beyond Meat Orange Chicken. I used plant-based pea-protein chicken strips made with chickpea and pea protein.

As always, check labels on everything to make sure you’re working with gluten free ingredients.This homemade Vegan Orange Chicken with easy and delicious Orange Sauce is a complete plant-based recipe.

You can also just fry until the chicken is cooked on the outside and then place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until cooked through (165 degrees F). If you are looking for a healthier alternative, instead of frying, heat a little oil in a large skillet and cook chicken on each side for 5-7 minutes or until cooked through and THEN add the sauce.

Red pepper flakes – a little of these red chili flakes go a long way, so use just a pinch if you want a mild dish.

Green onion – chop and use both the white and green ends.

Garlic – mince one teaspoon, or one big clove.

Ginger root – if you buy some ginger root at the store, keep it in an airtight container in the freezer and it’ll last a long time.

Orange zest – use a grater to zest about a tablespoon of fragrant orange zest.

Soy sauce – feel free to use a low-sodium soy sauce.

Rice vinegar – you can find this on Amazon or at most grocery stores in the Asian foods aisle.

Lemon juice – again, use a fresh lemon, if you have one.

If you have orange juice in your fridge you can use this too.

Orange juice – squeeze fresh juice from an orange, about two tablespoons.

Generally we like to use vegetable oil because it has a nice, mild flavor that doesn’t overpower the dish.

Eggs – just one or possibly two, slightly beaten, to dip your chicken in.

Salt and pepper – about a half teaspoon salt and a quarter teaspoon pepper or to taste.

Cornstarch – You’ll use corn starch to get that crispy outer coating on the chicken.
