- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 Green onions
Instructions
Wash the broccoli thoroughly and cut it into small, bite-sized florets.
Peel and mince the garlic, and finely grate the ginger.
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, water, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
Add the cashews to the skillet and toast them for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until they are lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of vegetable oil to the skillet. Increase the heat to medium-high.
Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the hot skillet. Stir-fry for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, or until the broccoli is bright green and tender-crisp.
Pour the soy sauce mixture over the broccoli and stir well to coat. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add the toasted cashews back to the skillet and toss to combine.
Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Serve immediately as a main dish with rice or as a side.
