This is a pretty well known Chinese recipe. I saw it on TV, but I’ve made a couple changes. For instance, the recipe originally called for grated orange peel, but when I first made the recipe I didn’t have any oranges, so instead of using orange peels I added just a splash of triple sec. It came out very good and now I use it all the time.
