List of Ingredients



• 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
  
• 2 Tbsp sesame oil
  
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
  
• 8 oz brocoli, divided in small florets (wee little trees)
  
• 8 oz baby corn, halved if large
  
• 1 small red belle pepper, cored, deseeded and sliced
  
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  
• 1 Cup Orange Juice
  
• 2 tsp cornstarch
  
• 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
  
• 1/3 cup roasted unsalted peanuts
  






Instructions



1. Heat the oils in a wok or large, heavy bottom skillet. Add the chicken strips and stir fry for 4-5 minutes until browned.
   
2. Add the brocoli, corn, and red bell pepper and stir fry for a further 1-2 minutes.
   
3. Meanwhile, mix the soy sauce with the cornstarch. Stir into the chicken and vegetable mixture, stiring constantly until the sauce has a slightly thickened and a glaze develops.

Final Comments


Make sure you use unsalted peanuts or the dish will be too salty! The soy sauce contains enough salt. Believe you me.
