Veggie Chow Mien with an Orange, Peanut, Ginger Sauce

Seriously, I know it sounds like a weird combo, but it tasted good! I would have went with a plum flavor for my fruit, but I had an orange so I went with it.

Farmers Market:
Onion (1 small onion thinly sliced)
Orange (zest and juice of 1)
Garlic (2cloves minced)

Co-Op:
Broccoli (2floret heads, I chopped up the stem after trimming it a little too)
Carrots (1lg or 2 medium diced)
Celery (1 stalk chopped)
Flax Seed (1tbs ground)
Sesame Oil (2tbs)

Asian Market:
Soy Sauce (2tbs)
Wheat Chow Mien Noodles (quantity depends on which kind of noodle you use, but the veggies make 4 servings worth)
Red Pepper Flakes (1-2tsp depending on your liking of heat)

I also used the beef broth (3/4 cup) I made for the soup last week.

Cook noodles per package directions (I haven't adventured into making my own Asian noodles yet. Someday I'll give ya that recipe too :)

In a large sauté pan heat oil and put in onions, garlic, stems of broccoli and carrots. Cook until carrots start to brighten in color and soften. Add celery, broccoli florets, broth, zest, oj, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes.

Once broccoli cooked, turn off heat and add flax to thicken sauce; then add cooked drained noodles and coat with sauce and veggies. It would be tasty with rice too.
