citrus glazed stir-fry

are you hungry? well i am not, because look at this yummy dinner we had! i used to always complain/joke about my mom using whatever she had in the fridge to whip something up for dinner and i am afraid i have become that person as well. it all starts like this:
sara: what should we have for dinner?
richie: i don't know. what do we have?
sara(looking in fridge): let's have (whatever i see one ingredient for)
richie: ok, sounds good.
so... i start making it and get about 3 ingredients into the meal when i realize there is one or more key ingredients missing. so we have to be creative. this also happens quite a bit when we decide to make cookies on a sunday night. it's just a habit i really haven't been able to break.
well, some bad habits can actually be good, like this is how i created this yummy stir fry! the original recipe called for all lemon juice and lemon zest, but i didn't have enough of either, so i used some lemon juice and some grapefruit juice. it turned out to be so delicious, and a nice change from our regular stir fry. so i bet you can also use orange, lime, or whatever citrus you have around. enjoy!
