Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you are watching your sodium intake, use reduced-sodium soy sauce in your favorite recipes. It has about 60 fewer milligrams of sodium per 1/2 tablespoon than regular soy sauce.
  • tip 2
    Stirring the cornstarch into the orange juice before adding it to the stir fry with allow it to dissolve and help prevent lumps.
  • tip 3
    Mix things up a bit by serving this stir-fry over hot cooked spaghetti instead of rice.
  • tip 4
    You can purchase both gingerroot and garlic already chopped. Let these convenience ingredients simplify your life when you’d rather not grate and chop!
