6 servings, about 1/2 cup each

Ingredients

  • 2 strips (2-by-1/2-inch) orange zest

  • cup fresh orange juice

  • 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil

  • 4 cups diagonally sliced celery (large outer stalks)

  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger

  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped

  • ¾ cup halved and slivered red onion

  • ¼ cup chopped lightly salted dry-roasted peanuts

Directions

  1. Cut orange zest into fine slivers. Whisk orange juice, tamari (or soy sauce), honey and cornstarch in a small bowl until blended.

  2. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Add oil, celery and the orange zest. Stir-fry until the celery is crisp-tender, but still bright green, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in ginger and garlic. Add the orange juice mixture and onion and stir-fry just until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Serve sprinkled with peanuts.

Tips

People with celiac disease or gluten-sensitivity should use soy sauces that are labeled "gluten-free," as soy sauce may contain wheat or other gluten-containing sweeteners and flavors.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
