Very Citrus Stir Fry



Because I can't always eat creamy fattening goodness, I'm always on the lookout for healthier recipes for balance.  Biscuit's a big fan of stir fries, so I decided that would be good for a lighter dinner.

I found a recipe for an Orange based stir fry sauce recipe, which had enough diversity in ingredients I felt it would be tasty.  The sauce was to be served over chicken and scallions, but I wanted to incorporate some additional veggies, so I doubled the recipe for the sauce and added broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, and snow peas.  The other change I made was to add a bit more orange juice to the sauce, probably equivalent to the juice of one whole orange for the double batch.

It turned out to be a really flavorful stir fry.  I served this over rice tossed with toasted sesame seeds. There was just the right amount of heat from the red pepper flakes and a nice strong flavor of orange in the sauce.  Fairly quick and easy to make as well, so good for a week night.  We will definitely make this again.

If you are interested in trying the recipe, you'll find it here: Yummy Orange Stir Fry.
