Stir Fried Orange Walnut Sweet Potatoes

Stir Fried Orange Walnut Sweet Potatoes

Today we have a delicious side dish for practically any meal. As a one oven household, I like stove top recipes like this, especially during the Holidays when the oven is already doing double duty with the turkey, stuffing, roasted potatoes etc. The sweet potatoes go so well with the orange in this recipe and I absolutely love the crunch of the toasted walnuts too but if you don't like walnuts, toasted pecans, cashews or macadamia nuts are also good substitutes.

• 3 cups sweet potatoes thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp peanut oil

Stir fry in a large wok for about 5 minutes over medium high heat, then reduce heat to minimum-low and cover for one minute before adding the sauce mixture.

Orange Sauce

Stir together:

• 1/2 cup orange juice
• finely grated zest of one orange
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp very finely grated ginger root
• 1 tbsp honey
  1/4 tsp cinnamon

Add sauce to the sweet potatoes and stir fry for an additional minute or two to thicken the sauce. Serve with:

• 2/3 cup toasted walnuts
