Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raw cashews
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced
- 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Snow peas
- 4 Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 3 cups Cooked rice or noodles (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Toast the cashews in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and fragrant. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the stir fry sauce. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the broccoli, carrots, and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir fry for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the snow peas and green onions to the skillet and stir fry for another 2-3 minutes.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil to the other side.
Pour in the prepared stir fry sauce and stir it for 30 seconds to heat through.
Mix the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water to create a slurry, then pour it into the skillet. Stir everything together, coating the vegetables evenly with the sauce.
Add the toasted cashews back into the skillet and toss to combine.
Serve the stir fry hot over cooked rice or noodles, if desired.
