Whenever I go grab some Chinese food at Panda Express, I more often than not get their Orange Chicken with a side of their fried rice and their chow mein. Now with this Copycat recipe I can make my own at home.
💭 Recipe Tip
Just like when I make Mexican Rice, I like to use long grain rice when making this recipe. Long grain rice will have a fluffy texture once cooked will short-grain rice tends to be more on the sticky side. Using long grain rice is optional. Use what you got!
If you don't have any low sodium soy sauce on hand you can use regular soy sauce. I like to buy low sodium ingredients whenever possible so I always have some on hand so that's what I use for this fried rice recipe.
