Nommi ~ Star Wars The Old Republic

 This popular Gungan candy comes from the word for nectar. 

I especially like this homemade candy not just because it is easy to make but because there are no added dyes, preservatives or anything other then fruit and sugar.

You will need:

4 orange peels, cut into 1/4 inch strips
1 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/3 cup sugar for tossing
You can use any mix of fruit like grapefruit, limes, oranges or lemons.

Cut the fruit peels into thin strips.

Place orange peel in large saucepan and cover with water. 

They will float to the top just stir them around occasionally.

Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 20 minutes, drain and set aside.

In medium saucepan, combine 2 cups sugar and 1 cup water.

Put on medium heat and boil for 10 minutes.

Stir in peel, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring frequently

Place 1/3 cup of sugar into a seal-able container.

Drain the orange slices from the sugar and water.

Place in with the sugar and toss till all the strips are coated.

Yum!

 Let sit on a tray or wire rack over night to dry.
Store in an air tight container.

You will need:


Sauce:
1 cup water
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (I used 1 fresh clove)
2 tablespoons chopped green onion
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Coating on Chicken:
6 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons water

Chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil


To make the sauce:

Pour water, orange juice, lemon juice and soy sauce into a saucepan and set over medium-high heat.

Stir in the brown sugar, ginger, garlic, chopped onion, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil.

Remove from heat, and cool 10 to 15 minutes.

Place the chicken pieces into a resealable plastic bag or container. When contents of saucepan have cooled, pour 1 cup of sauce into bag.
Reserve the remaining sauce. Seal the bag, and refrigerate at least 2 hours or over night.

In another resealable plastic bag, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Add the marinated chicken pieces, seal the bag, and shake to coat.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place chicken into the skillet, and brown on both sides.

Let the skillet cool down for 2 minutes and then wipe it out, and add the sauce.

Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Mix together the flour and 4 tablespoons water; stir into the sauce.
Reduce heat to medium low, add the chicken pieces, and simmer, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve over rice with steamed veggies or a salad.
