Orange Sesame Stir Fry

Vegetables
4 scallions, diced finely
1 inch ginger root, diced finely
15-20 baby carrots, chopped
1 head broccoli, chopped
3/4 c snow peas, whole
3/4 c sugar snap peas, whole
1 small can water chestnuts
10 cremini, white, or portabella mushrooms, sliced

Sauce
4 T Tamari
1 T sesame oil
2 T orange marmalade
1 T red chili powder
salt & pepper to taste

*Feel free to add meat (chicken would work well) or fermented tofu to this dish if you'd like.

**We recommend use of organic ingredients where possible.

Add 1/2" water to a frying pan over medium heat.  Add scallions and ginger.  Add carrots, broccoli, whole peas, water chestnuts, and mushrooms.  Mix together sauce ingredients in a small bowl.  Steam vegetables until nearly done.  Add sauce to vegetable pan, steam entire dish for 2-3 minutes more until complete.  Serve up and enjoy!

NOTE: Admittedly this dish isn't technically a stir fry; that's because there's ample evidence indicating steaming is healthier than frying.  However if you prefer frying feel free to do so; just replace the water with a healthy oil of your preference.
