By barbgreenfield

Ingredients

• 2 11 oz. cans mandarin oranges, drained and liquid reserved
• 2 Tbs. molasses
• 1 Tbs. soy sauce
• 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
• 1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
• 1/4 C. peanut oil
• 2 heads fresh broccoli, cut into florets

Step 1

Directions
In a small bowl, mix together 1/4 C. of the reserved juice, molasses, soy sauce, ginger and cornstarch. Set aside. Heat oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Sauté broccoli florets and one can of mandarin oranges until the broccoli is heated through. The oranges will almost dissolve.
