I lost my teeth a few years ago and I now gum everything I eat. I bought a Instant Pot so I could cook everything soft and it works, BTW.
My question is, I never buy oranges anymore because I can't eat them BUT many recipes I use call for orange zest. I've used orange juice with pulp but it's far too weak so, can I get away with using orange essence or oil or something like it instead of orange zest? Will it work as well? Will it give my recipes more orange flavor?
Like,
Chinese Orange Chicken
Chinese Orange Shrimp
sticky orange chicken sauce
Sweet and Sour Orange Sauce
Etc., Etc., Etc.
TY
