Remove peel off remaining 2 tangerines or 1 orange. Cut half of peel into 1/4-inch strips (discard remaining peel). Set aside.

Add juice mixture and fruit and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 1 minute. Serve stir-fry over rice sprinkled with cilantro, if desired.
