- Comments: Cloning the addicting sweet sauce, that gets a spicy zing from chili garlic sauce, is the key to recreating the flavors which hook diners at America's hippest Chinese bistro chain. You'll find chili garlic sauce near the Asian foods in your supermarket - the rest of the sauce ingredients includes common stuff. Slice the orange peel into thin julienne strips before adding it to the dish. Since the flavor from the peel is so strong, we will not need to add in it till the end. Cook up some white or possibly brown rice to serve alongside this dish and get the chopsticks ready.
