Ingredients




1 cup orange juice
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
small pinch red pepper
1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
1 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 cups carrot, shredded
2 cups spinach, chopped
1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
1/2 pound tilapia, cut into large chunks as it will break up when added to the stir fry
1/2 cup cooked rice, brown preferred

Preparation

1 Combine orange juice, ketchup, honey, soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic and ginger in a small saucepan and simmer on medium for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 15 – 20 minutes until sauce reduces and thickens. 2 Heat a wok or large skillet over medium high heat with 1/2 tablespoon of coconut oil. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes until softened. Add shredded carrot and cook another 3 – 5 minutes to soften vegetables. Add spinach and cook another 3 minutes to wilt then remove to a bowl. 3 Add remaining coconut oil to the pan and add tilapia. Cook tilapia gently so that it doesn’t break up, turning to cook through. 4 When tilapia is just cooked, add vegetables back to the pan with sauce. 5 Serve over rice.
