6. Mix the cornstarch with a little of the reserved marinade until smooth, then mix that with the rest of the reserved marinade; stir into skillet.
7. Add vegetables and bring to a boil; cook until sauce is thickened and vegetables are hot, about five minutes.
8. Remove from heat; stir in sesame oil and reserved orange segments; serve with rice that has been sprinkled with orange zest and sesame seeds.
