For the rice, heat Nutrioli® vegetable oil in a pan to make the egg. Mix the egg in a bowl with a little salt and beat with 2 chopsticks or a fork; cook the egg in the hot oil and use the same chopsticks or fork to stir in the pan until well cooked.

At the same time, heat a high, concave-sided pan or a wok, if you have one. Add a little more Nutrioli® vegetable oil to the heated pan and add the rice; mix carefully with a spatula to avoid breaking the cooked grains, for about 3 minutes, then add the green onion, incorporate, and remove from the pan. Set aside. To prepare the chicken, in a bowl mix it with the soy sauce, egg white, cornstarch, flour, and water; heat another pan with enough Nutrioli® vegetable oil over medium heat and fry the chicken for 10 minutes, remove and drain the excess fat. For the orange sauce, heat a pan over medium heat and add the soy sauce, orange juice, fresh ginger, chili flakes, orange zest, honey, water, and cornstarch (previously dissolved in water) and let the sauce thicken for 5 minutes; add the fried chicken and toss for 2 minutes. Remove. Serve the fried rice in a bowl, place the orange chicken on top, and garnish with cilantro, green onion, white sesame seeds, and black sesame seeds.
