Instructions
- Thinly slice chicken against the natural grain of the breast. Place in mixing bowl, dust with cornstarch, add the 5-spice powder, half the minced garlic and ginger, half the soy sauce and sesame oil. Then combine.
- Zest half the orange, scraping away any bitter pith. Thinly julienne zest then very quickly brown in a wok, over high heat, with half the peanut oil.
- Add remaining minced garlic and ginger. Then promptly add vegetables. Quickly stir fry, retaining crispness, before setting aside.
- Dry wipe the same wok, return it to the heat, add remaining oil and marinated chicken. Briskly stir-fry until chicken is firm and white, but not dry.
- Return vegetables to wok with chicken and quickly combine. Squeeze in the juice of the orange, ad remaining soy sauce, sesame oil and combine all with a final rapid stir.
- Do not overcook. Chicken should remain moist and tender, while vegetables retain a little crunch. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with ground sesame seed and serve with brown rice.
Recipe Notes
Fast, easy and low sodium. The orange and ginger are the keynote flavors, along with the added accent of sesame oil and ground sesame.
