1. 1
   Squeeze juice from the 3 oranges and pour into a small saucepan. Use a zester to add some orange zest to the pan for extra fragrance.
   ▶ ≈0:42
2. 2
   Add the cornstarch to the cold orange juice (hot liquid prevents proper dissolution) and stir to combine evenly.
   ▶ ≈2:05
3. 3
   Add chilli peppers to your desired spice level—keep one whole and slice the other. Add to the orange sauce along with a pinch of salt. Cook on medium-low heat, allowing the sauce to gradually thicken to the desired consistency.
   ▶ ≈2:18
4. 4
   Cut the chicken breast into small pieces. Keep the pieces relatively small and uniform to ensure quick and even cooking.
   ▶ ≈3:19
5. 5
   Heat olive oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot, add the ginger slices to infuse the oil, then add the chicken pieces.
   ▶ ≈3:40
6. 6
   Sear the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked through. Ensure the pieces have a nice golden-brown exterior. Season with salt to taste.
   ▶ ≈5:11
7. 7
   Pour the prepared orange sauce into the pan (with heat off). Gently toss the chicken to evenly coat it in the sauce, creating a glossy glaze.
   ▶ ≈5:47
8. 8
   Plate the chicken and some of the sauce. Drizzle with the remaining sauce and garnish with fresh spring onion greens to add a fresh, aromatic finishing touch.
