Macadamia-Broccoli Stir-Fry

Instructions

1. 1

   Cut broccoli tops into florets and stems into two-inch-long, 1/4-inch-wide strips.

2. 2

   Heat the oil very hot in a large, heavy skillet. Add broccoli and crushed red pepper, and stir-fry until the broccoli just begins to soften--a little over a minute.

3. 3

   Combine orange juice, 1/4 cup water, sugar, ginger, and salt in a cup and add to the skillet. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring now and then, until the broccoli stems are almost tender. Add carrots and cook until tender.

4. 4

   Lower heat to low medium. Remove the broccoli and carrots. Dissolve cornstarch into 1/4 cup water, and stir into skillet. Cook and stir until sauce thickens. Return the vegetables to the pan along with the macadamia nuts. Heat through and serve.
