I'd try it: Panda Express testing Orange Chicken Sandwich.

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Jun 25 '23, 13:41

"The warm, gooey flavors of orange chicken are deeply satisfying, but the real kicker here are the pickles. I would never in a million years ask for a side of pickles to accompany an order of General Tso’s, or even orange chicken, for that matter. But here, they add a surprisingly tangy, acidic component that plays off of the saccharine quality of the chicken. The sriracha aioli adds a bit of spicy richness, too, which is necessary for this thing to feel like a sandwich. Sauce is key."

adding a kiss of vinegar is an essential element of chinese cooking... and 'the sauce' is the secret to everything, life, love and lunch -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 25, 14:01
IMO that's just further Americanizing "Chinese" food. The last vaguely authentic thing was the rice so let's sub that out 😆 -- nm - JD Jun 25, 13:58 3
- authenticity is a trap. The important question: Is it good? -- nm - Reagen Jun 25, 14:02 2
  - It doesn't pass the test of "does it sound good?" -- nm - Roger More Jun 25, 14:09
  - Tis true and at the heart of fusion and melting pot food - JD Jun 25, 14:09
