Orange Chicken Sauce

We like to make Chinese food and this one has been made many times at our house. Even the kids love this sauce.

Ingredients:

2-4 TB Cornstarch (depends on how thick you like your sauce)

1/2 C Water

1-1/2 C Sugar

1/2 C Ketchup

1/2 C White Vinegar

Dash of Soy Sauce

1 Orange (I use the zest from about half of this orange and then I use all the juice from it)

Red Pepper Flakes (to taste - I like to have just a slight zing to it)

Directions:

Mix together the cornstarch and water (make sure to use cold water or you will get clumps). Mix all of the rest of the ingredients together and cook in a saucepan. Once boiling, boil until thickened. It will also be slightly clear. I like to double this recipe and freeze the other half so that it makes an easy dinner down the road.
