Orange Brocolli Beef with rice


This recipe took longer than I thought it would to make, it ended up taking me about an hour and a half to do all the prep, cook & serve. I used 2 small hot red peppers which gave it some kick. To save some prep time I used pre-minced ginger available from the produce section at the grocery store. I also used clementines instead of oranges. I particularly liked how the beef turned out, it was simple to coat the beef with the cornstarch & it fried up nicely.
Things I would do differently next time: I would add bell peppers to the veggie stir fry. The broccoli got too soggy the way that the recipe said to cook it, next time I would briefly steam the broccoli, set it aside & then mix it in at the very end so that it still retains some crispness. I would also make this dish when citrus fruit is more in season, the clementines were not as sweet as usual & I suspect this is because they are not in season.
Overall this recipe was very tasty. The fusion of citrus and spice worked well in this dish and added a lot of flavor. The fried orange peel provided interesting texture to the meal too. I thoroughly enjoyed this dish and would make it again.
