Steps:

• Drain the can of mandarin oranges reserving the liquid for use (will yield about 1 cup of liquid). Put oranges in a bowl & set aside.

Let them marinade as you finish making the sauce. Making Sauce: Put ½ cup oil in a saucepan over burner on medium high. Add garlic, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp pepper, and sauté about 2 minutes. Add remaining onion/orange chopped mixture, marmalade jam, ½ tsp Korean sweet and spicy sauce, and let it come to a boil for about 7-10 minutes.
