Ingredients:

1 lb beef steak sliced thin

2 onions sliced

6 cloves garlic chopped

2 tablespoons red pepper powder

1/2 bottle of Kikkoman Orange sauce

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup of water

Let your beef slightly unthaw. It’s easier to slice it thin that way. In a large wok on medium, saute onions, garlic, ginger, and peppers in vegetable oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper. Next add beef and and pour in orange sauce. Continue to toss. Sprinkle more salt, pepper and red pepper powder. Pour in water. Allow it to simmer for a few minutes. Then toss some more. Once the beef and vegetables are almost done finally add the tomatoes. Toss for a couple of minutes and make sure not to overcook them. They should still retain their form. Serve with rice.

Faux Orange Chicken

**The only thing orange about this dish is the color courtesy of Goya!** Thus it being named Faux Orange Chicken. It has undertones of Mexican and Caribbean cuisine with a little spice. A very quick stir-fry to fix and beat the race against the sun.

Ingredients:

3 lbs skinless, boneless chicken breasts diced

1 onion sliced

1 green bell pepper sliced

1 Serrano pepper finely chopped

1/2 bunch of cilantro chopped

1/2 a bar of Goya Pasta de Achiote Annatto Paste sliced

3 packages of Goya Sazon (Coriander & Annatto)

1/2 tablespoon turmeric

2 cups of water

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon onion powder

sea salt to taste

black pepper to taste

vegetable oil

Throw the chicken and vegetables in a large wok with vegetable oil on the bottom. Turn the stove on medium heat.

Cut the Pasta de Achiote Annatto Paste in half like this and slice it up. Save the other half for another meal.

Now combine all the seasonings including cilantro and toss so everything is thoroughly seasoned. Add the two cups of water.

As this dish simmers, periodically toss it to make sure the chicken and vegetables are cooked through.

I served with jasmine rice and sweet peas.
