1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1/2 cup orange juice
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce

In a large skillet or wok, stir-fry the celery, carrots and cashews in oil until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir cornstarch mixture and add to the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Add pork; heat through. Serve with rice; top with noodles and onion.
