PREP TIME: 15min COOK TIME: 15min
Serves 6
Ingredients
1 cup orange juice
2 tbsp. soy sauce
1 tbsp. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
3 tbsp. peanut or canola oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. fresh ginger
1 1/2 cup broccoli florets
1 small red bell pepper, julienned
1 small onion, sliced
1 8 oz. box fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup baby corn
4 cups cooked rice, for serving
1/2 cup toasted nuts (walnuts or peanuts) if desired
Step 1
Whisk
In a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce and cornstarch. Set aside.
Step 2
Stir-Fry
Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. In a wok or large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and stir-fry until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Chicken is done when a meat thermometer inserted in the center reaches 170°F. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the wok. Stir-fry the garlic and ginger for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, onion, shiitake mushrooms and baby corn. Stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until vegetables are tender-crisp. Add the cooked chicken back to the wok and heat through.
Step 4
Serve
Whisk the orange juice mixture into the wok and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes, until sauce has thickened. Divide rice among 6 plates. Top with Easy Orange Chicken Strip Stir-Fry. Garnish with toasted nuts, if desired. Serve with hot tea.
