Boil with water and sugar until translucent, about 1/2 an hour. Drain, reserving liquid. Slide beef mixture into cool deep-fat (180 degrees) for a couple seconds until just starting to turn color. Remove and drain well. Wok chili, garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add scallions in 2 inch lengths, whites halved lengthwise. Add beef, poached orange rinds, orange juice, vinegar, and stock and wok until thick. Garnish with sesame oil and orange slices.
