Szechuan Orange Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Blood Orange Sauce
    1 1/2 cups orange juice (blood orange or regular)
    1/2 cup sugar
    1 tablespoon minced fresh gingerroot
    1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
    1/2 teaspoon hot chili flakes
    Chicken
    1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
    1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
    4 cups hot cooked rice
    1/4 cup thinly sliced green onion (including tops)
    soy sauce
Preparation
    To make Blood Orange Sauce, mix all sauce ingredients in a 10-12\" nonstick skillet over high heat.
    Bring to boil and boil until reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes.
    Stir often to prevent burning.
    May be made up to 2 days in advance; use either hot or cold.
    Meanwhile, rinse chicken and pat dry. Cut into 1/2 inch chunks.
    In a 12\" nonstick skillet or 5-6 qt nonstick pan, heat oil over high heat.
    Add chicken and stir-fry until lightly browned and cooked through (cut to test for pinkness), about 4-5 minutes.
    Add Blood Orange Sauce and stir until it comes to a boil, about 1-2 minutes.
    Spoon chicken and sauce over rice in bowls. Sprinkle with green onion and season to taste with soy sauce.
