Roasted peanuts with celery

Ingredients

* 2 strips (2-by-1/2-inch) orange zest
* 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
* 2 tablespoons reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
* 1 tablespoon honey
* 1 teaspoon cornstarch
* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil
* 4 cups diagonally sliced celery (large outer stalks)
* 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
* 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
* 3/4 cup halved and slivered red onion
* 1/4 cup chopped lightly salted dry-roasted peanuts

Preparation

1. Cut orange zest into fine slivers. Whisk orange juice, tamari (or soy sauce), honey and cornstarch in a small bowl until blended.
2. Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat until hot enough to sizzle a drop of water. Add oil, celery and the orange zest. Stir-fry until the celery is crisp-tender, but still bright green, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in ginger and garlic. Add the orange juice mixture and onion and stir-fry just until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute. Serve sprinkled with peanuts.
