In under 30 minutes, you can get this Chinese take-out favorite onto your table without having to leave the house. Fresh ginger, orange zest and honey, give this recipe fantastic sweet-heat. To easily peel fresh ginger root, scrape off the skin with the edge of a metal spoon. If you use a lot of fresh ginger, it is easy to store in the freezer and grate on a microplane without having to peel. The addition of the bean sprouts gives this recipe great bits of crunch and a whimsical look. Skip some of the prep work by buying convenience products like jarred pre-minced garlic and pre-minced ginger in your grocery store’s produce aisle.
