Instructions
Squeeze a big orange. This should make for 1/2 a cup (scant) orange juice. Peel a medium onion and slice it in half-rings. Peel and grate a thumb-size piece of fresh ginger. Peel the skin off of the beets (works best under running water imo), and slice them in half-rings, just like the onions.
Pour 2 tbsp golden syrup in a bowl.
Add the orange juice and pour 1 tbsp soy sauce in there. Stir until the syrup has dissolved. This could take a minute or so.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a stir-fry pan (wok) and sautee the onions for 5 minutes, until soft but not brown.
Add the ginger and cook for an additional minute.
Add the beet slices and stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes.
Pour the orange/syrup mix in there. Season with a good pinch of black pepper and salt. Strip 2 or 3 thyme sprigs and add the leaves. Simmer the beets for 5 minutes over low heat.
