Orange Chicken and Vegetable Stir-Fry



1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon orange zest
2 large cloves garlic
1 teaspoon minced ginger
2 tablespoon Honey
1 pound chicken tender cut into cubes
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons corn starch
4 cups broccoli, carrots, snap peas, etc.
1/2 cup medium yellow onion, chopped

1.     Blend all the ingredients for the sauce in a blender or food processor for 10 seconds. Taste the sauce and add your choice of sweetener to your liking. Blend again for a few more seconds.
2.   Heat the sauce in a skillet on medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Leave to cool.
3.    Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
4.    Add the corn starch and massage the chicken with your hands.
5.   Boil the broccoli for 3-5 minutes until soft enough to pierce with a fork yet firm.
6.    Heat approximately 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet on medium-high heat, Cook the onion and chicken until the chicken is cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining vegetables and stir-fry them together for 2 minutes.
7.    Slowly add a few tablespoons of sauce while stirring the vegetables and chicken. Continue to add the sauce a few tablespoons at a time, allowing about 15 seconds between each addition to allow sauce to slightly cook down.

8.    Spoon the stir-fry over a bowl of hot rice. Serve immediately.
