Instructions
Get all your ingredients together (blanched, cut, measured and ready to cook). This recipe will come together very quickly.
In a small glass or cup, combine orange juice, soy sauce, honey and cornstarch or arrowroot. Stir until starch is dissolved
Warm the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the ginger and scallion and sauté until wilted (about 1 minute). Stir and add the soy sauce mixture and let it come to a boil, scraping up any ginger that may be stuck to the pan. When this comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and add the butternut squash noodles.
Toss the noodles in the sauce and allow them to soften up. Add the blanched or steamed green beans, toss and plate. Garnish each serving with a circle of star fruit slices, and top with a sprinkling of sesame seeds, if desired.
