Although this recipe is traditionally known as Peanut Sesame Vegetables, the highlight of this Thai recipe is the use of orange juice, which lends the dish a unique mildly-sweet and tangy flavour. Roasted and crushed peanuts and roasted sesame seeds have a rich, rustic, nutty flavour, which together with the orange juice and soya sauce add a zesty appeal to the colourful and crisp stir-fried veggies. Serve the Peanut Sesame Vegetables immediately to enjoy the crispness of the veggies and the crunchiness of the peanuts and sesame.
