Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil.
Add broccoli and boil for 1 minutes.
Drain and immediately place broccoli in a large bowl of ice water to stop it from cooking.
In a small bowl add orange juice, soy sauce, orange zest and cornstarch, whisking until cornstarch is dissolved.
Heat a non-stick wok or large deep skillet over high heat.
Add sesame oil, scallions, garlic and ginger and sauté for 30 seconds.
Add the sauce and broccoli and sauté 1 to 2 minutes, until the broccoli is crisp tender. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and red pepper flakes (if using).
Serve immediately.
