Chicken And Rice Stir-Fry With Fresh Orange, Dried Cherries, And Pecans

• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/3 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon chile paste ground, such as Sambal Oelek
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil divided
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 garlic clove finely chopped
• 1 piece ginger peeled and finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon peanut oil
• 2/3 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into bite-sized chunks
• sea salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• 1 orange peel naval, and pith removed, sections sliced in half crosswise
• 1/3 cup dried cherries
• 1/2 cup pecan broken, pieces
• cilantro leaves for serving

1. Whisk the soy sauce, chicken broth, vinegar, sugar, chile paste, and 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Whisk the cornstarch and water in another small bowl until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Set aside.
3. Heat a wok over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry 20-30 seconds. Add the soy sauce mixture and simmer 3 minutes. (Reduce the heat if the mixture comes to a hard boil.)
4. Re-whisk the cornstarch mixture and add to the wok. Stir well until the sauce is slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. Pour into a bowl and set aside. Do not wipe out the wok.
5. Add the peanut oil to the wok over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the wok. Stir-fry until the chicken is just cooked through, 4-5 minutes.
6. Add the rice and stir-fry until hot throughout, about 1 minute.
7. Re-whisk the sauce and add to the wok. Simmer 1 minute.
8. To serve, divide the chicken mixture among 4 plates or shallow bowls. Top each with the orange slices, cherries, and pecans. Scatter cilantro over all and serve right away.
